Yellow

#ffff00

Notes

Yellow (#FFFF00) is a true yellow with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (60°, 100%, 50%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid 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. R=G=255, B=0 — the RGB cube vertex exactly between Red and Lime, and the brightest color sRGB can produce. One of the 16 HTML 3.2 named colors.
