Mikado Yellow
Mikado Yellow (#FFC40C) possesses a radiant energy that's impossible to ignore. This deeply saturated, pure yellow doesn't shy away from attention; it demands it with a brilliant, almost luminous quality. Brighter than traditional gold but with more warmth than a lemon yellow, its striking clarity makes it a memorable and uplifting choice for any design palette looking to convey optimism and vibrancy.
