Valkyrie

Warmer, deeper chartreuse gold for assertive highlights
About Valkyrie
This shade looks like a strip of sunlight caught on a yellow-green safety tag, but it holds its composure instead of turning candy-bright. Valkyrie is warmer and more saturated than Egg Toast, so it reads clearer at a glance, yet it still doesn't carry the electric snap that makes some yellows feel pushy. Compared with Broom, it's less warm-leaning and more yellow-green, so it feels steadier than the heavier amber note.
I'd use Valkyrie for places where you need "watch this area" attention without shouting: onboarding cues, status pills, and notification highlights in consumer apps, plus classroom progress tiles and plant-care brand cards. It also works well for landscaping platform UI, because the shade stays legible next to mid-tone grays while keeping a fresh, leafy undertone. Think the one you reach for when you want brightness that still feels grounded.
If your palette is cream-heavy, give it a slightly darker green or charcoal neighbor so it doesn't soften at the edges. It pairs cleanly with sage, moss, and warm wood tones, and it stays distinct from Munsell Yellow by being a touch less primrose-clean and more grounded in that yellow-green family.
