Lemon Meringue

I think of Lemon Meringue as the moment a green palette gets air. It sits in that pale yellow space, but unlike Cheesy Frittata it doesn't feel creamier or lower in value, and unlike Beekeeper it keeps more of the bright yellow presence instead of staying muted.

It reads warmer than pure white, with a cleaner, lightly sweet undertone that feels more "lemon" than "dairy." Put it behind dashboards and food interfaces where you want friendliness without the softness getting muddy. It also works well for light editorial layouts and consumer onboarding screens, especially when the UI needs to stay legible against charcoal linework.

Compared to Buttery Croissant, this one holds its yellow edge and doesn't drift slightly cooler on screen. Pair it with olive, sage, or warm grays, and you'll get a bright, calm backdrop that never feels dense.
