Superstar

Sunny chartreuse-gold with softer saturation for calls
About Superstar
Superstar is the kind of green-family yellow you spot on a label that was printed a little too confidently: bright, but not candy-flashy. It sits lighter and more luminous than Goldenrod, with a cleaner yellow body and less "honeyed weight." Compared to Plastic Cheese, it doesn't carry that faint green wink, so it reads more straightforwardly buttery than plasticky. And next to Sunflower Island, it feels a touch more focused, with a higher-clarity tone rather than that just-before-bread warmth.
I use the one you reach for when you need high-visibility callouts that still feel controlled on food and CPG screens. Think nutrition fact highlights, promo chips, and step markers in retail media pages where you want clear status emphasis without drifting into the sharper plastic punch of Plastic Cheese or the gentler, sun-baked vibe of Sunflower Island. It also holds up on mobile dashboards for limited-time offers because it stays crisp against darker greens.
Quirk: it can look slightly too "printed" beside very pale creams, so give it a stronger green stroke or pair with deeper olive to keep it from flattening.
