Close to the yellow of a highlighter pen but warmer, #ffe243 is a vivid, glowing yellow with very little gray holding it back. Its high saturation reads loud and spontaneous, which suits sale badges, buttons, and safety signage. Treat it as a small accent rather than a full background, since it can overwhelm large surfaces. Black text on top clears WCAG AA at about 16.2:1 contrast.
