sunshine yellow

Warm golden hue

Sunshine yellow is a bright, warm shade of yellow that evokes direct sunlight—cheerful and saturated rather than pale or muted.

The term appears most often in design, fashion, and paint colors: a sunshine yellow raincoat, walls painted sunshine yellow.

It suggests optimism and energy.
