Moccasin color meaning

Moccasin is a soft and airy yellow — a warm color at 85% lightness and 100% saturation. Like other yellows, it is linked with optimism, happiness and attention. It is the most visible hue in daylight, so it reads as sunny and cheerful but can tire the eye in large areas.

Because it is soft and airy, moccasin works best for backgrounds, walls, baby rooms, wedding stationery and large calm surfaces. As text on white it would be too faint (1.2:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (17.0:1).
