citrusyellow

Citrusyellow is a term used to describe a bright yellow-orange color name commonly encountered in design, branding, and horticultural descriptions. It is not a formally standardized color in major color systems, but it evokes the characteristic hue of citrus fruit peels and ripe citrus flesh with sunny warmth.

In digital color spaces, citrusyellow is typically rendered as a saturated yellow with warm orange undertones. It sits near other bright citrus-inspired colors such as sunglow, marigold, and amber, and may be approximated by a range of hex codes depending on the source.

Applications include product packaging for beverages and foods; graphic design to convey freshness, energy, or optimism; interior design accents in sunny palettes; and fashion as a bold accent color.

In color psychology, yellow hues are associated with energy and visibility, while orange undertones emphasize enthusiasm. The perception of citrusyellow can vary with lighting and adjacent colors.

Because citrusyellow lacks formal standardization, its exact shade is variable across brands and media. When precise color specification is required, designers rely on established color names or customize a swatch with specific values.
