A high-chroma yellow reads instantly against near-black asphalt, so the pairing carries maximum value contrast while the mid-green keeps it from tipping into pure signage. The combo is pulled straight from this week's Tour de France, where the leader's yellow jersey sits over dark road and green points-classification cues. Let the black anchor everything and the yellow do all the talking.
