Marsupilami
Intensely bright yellow that grabs attention
Marsupilami is an intensely saturated, luminous yellow that demands attention. Because of its high chroma, the hex code #fdf200 works best as a punchy 10% accent rather than a background color. It pairs surprisingly well with deep charcoal grays to create a modern, high-contrast look. Stick to black text for optimal readability, as this shade can quickly overwhelm delicate design elements.
