Notes
Mustard is the curated deep yellow named after the condiment. The hex is more saturated than CSS Khaki and warmer than Goldenrod, with strong harvest associations. Editorial, food, and heritage brands use it as a primary accent or display heading colour. Pair with deep navy for type, or with cream and brass for warm autumn palettes. Against white it carries enough contrast for headlines but is borderline for body text - AA passes only at 18px and above; smaller text in Mustard against white will appear washed out and lose legibility quickly.
