What goes with yellow
Blues and violets sit opposite yellow, so they balance it. Greys and charcoal are the easiest neutrals; they let yellow do the work.
Gold needs dark text: near-black on gold is 12.90:1. Don't use yellow for text on white; the gold scale only passes with white text from step 600, by which point it reads as olive.
