Canary Yellow refuses to be ignored
Canaries were selectively bred for centuries to intensify exactly this plumage, and the name stuck to any yellow with the same electric purity. At #FFEF00 the shade holds red and green nearly wide open with no blue at all, landing just short of pure yellow: a touch sharper, a touch cooler, unmistakably loud.
That intensity both limits and defines it. As a full-screen background it tires the eye quickly, but as a poster field behind black type it is close to unbeatable; the combination borrows the logic of hazard signage and taxi liveries, where yellow-plus-black exists because it stays legible at distance. Use it big, brief, and with dark ink.
