High-saturation orange-yellow for sharper neon accents and charts
About Neon Carrot
Neon Carrot looks like a fresh traffic-cone orange that's been brightened at the last second. It's lighter and more saturated than Deep Saffron and Indian Saffron, but it doesn't settle into their clean, golden "zest" warmth. Compared with Dragon Ball, it's a touch cooler and punchier, with less snack-bright yellow and more crisp carrot heat.
This is the shade I'd use for attention that needs to stay readable on modern UI: dash overlays, warehouse scan screens, and checkout highlight pills where you want immediate contrast against light grays. It also works for restaurant ordering status chips and campaign banners that sit over photos, because the orange tone holds its edge without turning syrupy like the deeper saffrons.
Quirk: on very cool monitors it can feel slightly more "neon" and sharper than you expect, so check it next to your primary yellow family accents before you lock the palette.
