Use #f9ee1d as an accent when the design needs urgency or visibility, like sale badges, CTAs, or safety markings. Covering a whole layout in it fatigues the eye fast, so keep it to the 10% accent slice of a 60/30/10 palette.

#f9ee1d has a 1.21:1 contrast ratio on white and 17.27:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it is too faint for text and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
