Notes
Green Yellow is the safety-vest hue construction crews and emergency dispatchers reach for when they need a colour the eye cannot ignore. The CSS value sits in the same band as 3M's Diamond Grade reflective tape. Use it strictly as an accent - a tag pill, a focus ring, a warning state. Never as a surface. It cannot function as body text against any white background, falling well below AA at every size. Pair it with a deep ink like #0a0a0a for type, or place it as a single splash against muted forest green to amplify the contrast without the surrounding palette tipping into a sports-team aesthetic.
