#F9E9A1 sits at 49° on the color wheel, placing it in the yellow family of the warm half of the spectrum. With 88% saturation and 80% lightness, it reads as a fully saturated, very light tone — a soft but unmistakably tinted presence. Its RGB mix of 249, 233, 161 produces a 17.20:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AAA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #F9E9A1 is a close cousin of CSS khaki — about 23 units away from #F0E68C. Designers reach for yellow hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want lift, air, and gentle emphasis. On screen the warm cast tends to pair best with cool neutrals around 210°-230° to balance temperature.
