Maple
Open in tool →The three colours a maple goes through in October, on a warm white — loud, seasonal, and readable because the type is near-black.
Color
#eabb1frgb(234, 187, 31)hsl(46, 83%, 52%)oklch(0.811 0.16 89.6)Charcoal, Cornflower Blue and Deep Sky Blue lead the list. Each partner is a real named colour with the reason it works — a wheel relationship, a neutral that carries it, or a pairing lifted from a palette or brand system that actually shipped — and every pair opens in the palette tool.
Charcoal is the body-text near-black for #eabb1f: its slight blue cast keeps type crisp beside a warm colour where pure #000 looks heavy.
Cornflower Blue sits directly opposite #eabb1f on the wheel — the strongest contrast one hue can give another, so use it small: a button, a link colour, one highlight.
Deep Sky Blue is a split-complement of #eabb1f: nearly opposite, so it still pops against it, without the vibrating edge of a true complement.
4 real palettes, including Midnight Luxe and Coffee Bar put Champagne beside #eabb1f, as that palette's text colour.
Crimson is paired with #eabb1f in 5 real palettes, including Tabloid and Diner, as the lead colour.
Dark Olive Green shows up next to #eabb1f in 4 real palettes, including Farmers Market and Undergrowth, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Denim with #eabb1f: 9 real palettes, including Wikipedia's brand system and Walmart's brand system, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Dodger Blue with #eabb1f: 5 real palettes, including Heatwave and PostHog's brand system, as the accent.
| #eabb1f as text | Ratio | AA | AA large | AAA | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Aaon white | 1.81:1 | fail | fail | fail | |
Aaon black | 11.63:1 | pass | pass | pass | Passes AAA — no fix needed. |
Fixes keep hue and saturation and move lightness only, so the suggestion stays on-brand. Ratios are symmetric: the same numbers apply with #eabb1f as the background.
#eabb1f reads as warm, vivid, playful. The font library is tagged with the same vocabulary:
Point any MCP client at the shared colors endpoint and your agent gets the same engine as this page — direct_palette, edit_direction, check_palette, check_contrast — read-only, no key. Every direction it proposes comes with a /colors/d/… link: open it, lock what you like, paste the link back, and the agent edits rather than re-rolls.
