NYC Taxi
Also known as: Hot Sun , Yellow Groove , Sneezeweeds , Solar Power
Part of the orange family, NYC Taxi pairs a medium base with a warm and inviting presence. It belongs in friendly UI accents and children's products. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a blue keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (11.77:1), but avoid it as text on white.
