Color Characteristics
Yellow is the brightest of all colors, evoking sunlight, wheat fields and lemons. Light and eye-catching, it plays an important role in playful, dining and warning designs. Specifically, Goose Yellow has a lightness of 63% and a saturation of 100%, striking and generous as a background or primary color, offering good readability with either light or dark text; moreover, its saturation is extremely high and its visual tension is strong, so it works best used sparingly as a focal accent. In a word: Newborn down.
