Flax is a mellow, pastel yellow with a distinct golden warmth. Because it has high luminance, black text reads clearly against it, making it an accessible choice for UI backgrounds. While it works well for spring-themed branding, avoid using it as a full-page background, as it can wash out easily. Pair this hex code, #eedc82, with charcoal grays for a sophisticated, high-contrast look.
