Under warm 2700K interior light Marsupilami shifts subtly: leans toward orange; in north-facing or shaded light it is virtually unchanged. Overall drift across common illuminants is small (max ΔE ≈ 1.7), so it is a lighting-stable choice.

Against white it measures 1.17:1 and against black 17.88:1, so black text is the stronger pairing. That pairing passes WCAG AA for body text. Avoid white text on this color entirely.
One color explored: close hues with real lightness and chroma structure, so the palette is the anchor through value rather than a set of colors.
#fdf200 · #d9cf00 · #afa700 · #878100 · #615c00 · #3d3a00
The anchor's neighbours on the wheel — everything shares an undertone, so the chord carries color without anything having to be muted to get along.
#fdf200 · #ffd247 · #ffb337 · #ff9123 · #f07641 · #db5f57
The mid-gap pairing — sage and mustard, terracotta and olive. A foil rotated 40–65° toward warm or cool: too far to be kin, too near to argue, carried by temperature and a deliberate value offset.
#fdf200 · #70be93 · #979000 · #008452 · #595500 · #004427
One deliberately opposed voice — a single restrained counterpoint across the wheel, or temperature against temperature where the anchor is too muted to carry a loud opposite.
#fdf200 · #ccca9d · #ada951 · #6346d0 · #4b4700 · #2d2a00
The anchor as the only color in the room. True neutrals or complement-warmed near-neutrals let it stay dominant.
#fdf200 · #cccbe0 · #929276 · #555563 · #262505 · #010006
This color as a ground rather than a subject — its own restraint held across a narrow value band, carrying one saturated voice from the opposite temperature.
#f1f0fc · #c7c7d5 · #9a9aaa · #212032 · #03020f · #fdf200
The opposite hue on the perceptual wheel, tempered to field strength — warm/cool tension without vibration.
#fdf200 · #cac8f4 · #8a7dec · #5534be · #250066 · #040300
The complement's two neighbours instead of the complement itself — strong contrast with a lower clash risk.
#fdf200 · #b0e0e1 · #bd7dd4 · #516991 · #363755 · #071404
Three hues spaced evenly around the wheel; the anchor leads and the other two are held at supporting strength.
#fdf200 · #a4d6ec · #009eca · #9a006c · #45002e · #00050b
Two complementary pairs offset by 90° — the richest chord, kept usable by a strict lightness hierarchy.

#F9F167 · #F4F093 · #F1EFB6
Its moderate chroma lets it work in mid-size areas — upholstery, secondary UI surfaces, editorial blocks — without overwhelming neighbors. In palettes it pairs most predictably with its tonal ramp and analogous neighbors; reserve the complementary hue for small, deliberate contrast.
