Butter yellow and persimmon are neighbours in hue but far apart in value and chroma, so the orange lands as an accent rather than a competitor; the near-black ink gives the yellow enough contrast to stop reading as off-white on screen. This is butter yellow's second act. It has not left, but the mood has shifted toward energy, and Pinterest's persimmon is the hue doing the pushing.
