Hex color #f6dd31 graphic
Not a pastel, the hex code #f6dd31 is a glowing, fully saturated yellow with plenty of punch. That brightness suits sale graphics, budget tags, and bold brand accents, though it overwhelms as a full background. Pair it with charcoal or deep navy and it looks sharper than it ever does beside white. Black text reads at about 15.3:1 contrast on top, so small type stays legible.
