primrose
Pale yellow flower
A primrose is a woodland plant with pale yellow flowers that bloom in early spring, among the first to appear after winter.
The primrose path is a life of ease and pleasure—attractive but potentially leading to ruin, from Shakespeare's use in Hamlet.
Primrose yellow is a pale, delicate shade.
