About yellow colors
Yellow is the brightest hue at full saturation, which makes it excellent for highlights and warnings and difficult for almost everything else. CSS yellows go from pale lightyellow and lemonchiffon to gold and the pure yellow keyword, plus the muddier khaki and darkkhaki.
Because yellow reflects so much light, yellow text on white is effectively invisible — it needs a dark background or a dark outline to work at all. It pairs naturally with navy, charcoal and deep purple, and a small amount goes a long way; large yellow fills can feel harsh on a screen.
