#F7B600 (#F7B600) — practical notes
#F7B600 (#f7b600) sits in the orange family at about 44° hue, 100% saturation, and 48% lightness. Contrast is 1.8:1 on white and 11.65:1 on black, so near-black labels read more clearly on the swatch itself. Nearest Tailwind token: amber-400 (approximation unless the hex is an official scale stop).
- primary buttons and key accents
- text or icons on charcoal / dark mode
Do not use #f7b600 as small body text on white — 1.8:1 misses WCAG AA (4.5:1). Pair it with a darker shade from the scale below, or check pairs in the contrast checker.
High chroma can vibrate against complementary hues. If a pairing feels noisy, drop saturation on the background rather than the brand accent.
