Sensible jobs for this swatch

supporting UI accents
text or icons on charcoal / dark mode

Do not use #dae080 as small body text on white — 1.4:1 misses WCAG AA (4.5:1). Pair it with a darker shade from the scale below, or check pairs in the contrast checker.

Family context: Optimism, attention, and warmth. Ideal for highlights, warnings, and cheerful brands. Common uses still include buttons, charts, and accents in the Yellow range — always verify the pair for this exact hex in the contrast checker.
