#DCD188 sits at 52° on the color wheel, placing it in the yellow family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 55% saturation and 70% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, light tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 220, 209, 136 produces a 13.52:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #DCD188 is a clear variant of CSS khaki — about 29 units away from #F0E68C. Designers reach for yellow hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
