Suggested color roles

secondary

Utilize `#FFD700` (Gold) for supportive elements, providing a rich, warm complement to the intense primary yellow.

background

Employ `#F0F8FF` (Alice Blue) as a clean, crisp background that offers a refreshing visual break from the bright yellows.

For optimal readability, use black or a very dark charcoal. White text can be used for large headings on `#FFFF00` or `#FFD700` if contrast is checked.

Accessibility notes

  • Pure yellow (`#FFFF00`) demands very dark text (black or dark charcoal) for any readability; avoid light text entirely.
  • The cool `#F0F8FF` provides excellent contrast for dark text, making it ideal for body copy backgrounds.
  • Ensure `#FFC30B` as an accent color meets minimum contrast ratios when used for interactive elements.
  • Be mindful of contrast when layering any yellow on another yellow; darker text is almost always required.
