Orange Yellow

#fcb315

Saffron, amber, the yolk of a free-range egg: Orange Yellow sits between the yellows and the oranges, bright and saturated with a clear red lean. It needs a cool or dark partner to settle. Antwarp Blue gives it a crisp, poster-like contrast, Eosine Pink pushes the pair into a hot, festive sweetness, and Violet supplies a deep complement that makes both colors look richer. It only manages 1.8:1 on white, so black or a deep blue should do the writing on top of it, where black reaches 11.6:1. Consider it for festival graphics, citrus packaging, or accent chairs.
