This week's color is Acid Yellow - a bright neon yellow with just a hint of a cool green undertone!
Pair acid yellow with a cool neutral (like gray), or a highly-saturated color like magenta or azure blue for a fresh, youthful color scheme.
Fun facts about Acid Yellow:
1. The name acid yellow comes from the food industry, where some types of yellow food coloring are known as acid yellow.
2. The acid yellow color is similar to chartreuse yellow, a bright color named in 1838 for its resemblance to a type of French liqueur, and electric lime, a fluorescent Crayola color created in 1990 and popular for creating psychedelic art.
3. Neon lights were named for the noble gas of the same name, which gives off a red light. Other "neon" colors are actually produced from other gases and chemicals, such as helium (yellow), carbon dioxide (white), and mercury (blue).
