Yellow Instagram highlight covers: what to know
This page starts the instagram highlight cover maker for this case. For every option and how to use it, see the instagram highlight cover maker.
Why the letters are dark
Yellow is the lightest bright colour, so white letters on it nearly vanish. A deep brown or black keeps symbols and words sharp. This set uses #3d2e00, a brown that looks softer than black next to yellow.
Mustard (#e1ad01) and ochre (#cc7722) are deeper yellows that feel more autumnal; they still need dark letters.
Pastel yellow
For a softer look, set the background to a pale lemon such as #fff4b8 and keep the dark icon colour. Yellow emoji blend in; blue or purple ones stand out.
Questions
What colour text goes on yellow highlight covers?
Dark text: black, deep brown or navy. White text has too little contrast on yellow.
Can I use a mustard yellow?
Yes. Put a mustard like #e1ad01 in the background colour; every cover in the set changes with it.
