Butter yellow carries just enough chroma to feel like a color rather than a cream, and against a warm graphite it holds a clear value gap without the hardness of yellow-on-black. Chalk fills the middle so the jump is stepped rather than abrupt. Butter yellow has stayed near the top of Pinterest and Behance saves for several seasons now, and pairing it with a warm dark is how editorial layouts keep it from turning saccharine.
