Yellow-Bellied
Also known as: Big Yellow Streak , Pico Sun , Hollandaise , Níng Méng Huáng Lemon
Quietly sunny and uplifting, Yellow-Bellied is a warm-toned yellow that earns its keep in kids' apps and summer palettes. Set it against a blue accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (17.53:1), but avoid it as text on white.
