Using this palette

A yellow-dominant palette needs real anchoring or it goes flat and cheap, which is why the brown seed-head tone and olive-green stem color are load-bearing here, not decorative — they're what makes #F4C430 read as an actual sunflower rather than generic 'yellow.' Body copy has exactly one home here, #4A3C1F; #FFE066 is a highlight only, far too pale to pair against anything but the darker three. Suited to summer/agriculture branding or cheerful editorial use; because yellow at this saturation is genuinely hard to read text on, never set copy directly in #F4C430 or #FFE066 regardless of background.
