secondary

#ADFF2F (Chartreuse) - Ideal for subheadings, secondary buttons, or background accents, providing a slightly softer, yet still bright green.

accent

#FFA500 (Orange) - Perfect for small, impactful highlights, warning messages, or icons that need to stand out with extreme warmth and energy.

background

#FFFF00 (Yellow) - A very bright, luminous background that allows the greens and orange to pop with intensity, creating a sun-drenched feel.

#FFD700 (Gold) - Offers a bright, warm option for text on darker backgrounds. For lighter backgrounds like #FFFF00, a very dark green or black is recommended.

Accessibility notes

  • Many bright colors mean careful contrast checking is essential for text and interactive elements.
  • Avoid using #FFFF00 or #FFD700 for small body text on similarly bright backgrounds.
  • Consider using a very dark green or pure black for text on the brightest yellow/gold backgrounds for optimal readability.
  • Ensure interactive elements have clear visual changes on hover/focus, possibly using #FFA500 for emphasis.
