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
#eabc34rgb(234, 188, 52)hsl(45, 81%, 56%)oklch(0.814 0.152 88.8)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.
Cornflower Blue sits directly opposite #eabc34 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 #eabc34: 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 #eabc34, as that palette's text colour.
Crimson is paired with #eabc34 in 5 real palettes, including Tabloid and Diner, as the lead colour.
Dark Olive Green shows up next to #eabc34 in 4 real palettes, including Farmers Market and Undergrowth, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Denim with #eabc34: 8 real palettes, including Wikipedia's brand system and Walmart's brand system, as the supporting colour.
Designers have shipped Dodger Blue with #eabc34: 5 real palettes, including Heatwave and PostHog's brand system, as the accent.
