Daffodil

Daffodil (#FFDC73) is a soft amber with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (45°, 100%, 73%) places it in the highly saturated band at a light lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary blue. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The yellow of Narcissus pseudonarcissus, the Welsh national flower. Wordsworth's "ten thousand dancing in the breeze" cemented it as the English emblem of early spring.
