#FED349 Hex Color

Deep charcoal and navy ground its brightness, while dark teal or plum give it a richer, less expected edge. Use it as the 10 percent accent in most palettes. Skip pale grays and soft pinks, which wash the yellow out.

Black text on #fed349 reaches about 14.6:1 contrast, well past the WCAG AA minimum of 4.5:1 for body copy. That makes the color safe behind small type. White text fails here, so always pair it with dark lettering.
