Not a pastel and not mustard, #fcda30 is a fully saturated yellow with a warm, glowing golden edge. That intensity makes it loud, so treat it as an accent or a bold banner color rather than a full page background. Pair it with charcoal or deep navy instead of white, and rely on black text, which clears contrast checks at about 15.2:1.
