#eeaa00 - Welcoming Wasp color

This shade is a vivid warm amber—bright golden yellow with a strong orange undertone. It reads like ripe mango, marigold petals, or a late-afternoon sunset: energetic, sunlit, and appetizing. High saturation gives it boldness for accents, signage, or call-to-action buttons, while its warmth conveys optimism and friendliness. It pairs well with deep navy, charcoal, olive green, or muted purples to balance intensity, and works effectively in food, branding, and autumnal palettes.
