acid yellow
Neon citrus shade
Acid yellow is an intense, sharp yellow with a slightly greenish tint—the color of highlighter ink or certain safety vests.
The name suggests something synthetic and eye-catching rather than warm or natural: an acid yellow sports car, acid yellow nail polish.
The shade became associated with rave culture and 1980s fashion.
