Canary is a bright, almost neon shade often associated with the vivid feathers of the canary bird. Citrine, named after the gemstone, has a deeper yellow tone with hints of brown. Maize resembles the color of corn kernels, combining yellow with a soft, earthy undertone. Marigold is a rich, golden yellow reminiscent of the flower, providing a bold and warm presence.

Jonquil, another flower-inspired color, is a light, soft yellow with a slight green tint, much like the jonquil flower itself. Daffodil is a cheerful, sunlit yellow, typically associated with early spring blooms. Lemon is bright and fresh, closely resembling the citrus fruit's skin. Banana is a slightly softer, pale yellow.

Mustard is a deeper, earthy yellow with brown undertones, giving it a grounded, rustic look. Dandelion is a sunny, pure yellow, matching the bright color of dandelion petals in bloom. Blonde has a soft, beige-tinged yellow, often associated with light hair shades. Flax is a pale, creamy yellow that feels muted and natural.

Honey has a warm, amber-like quality, a blend of yellow with a golden-brown richness. Butter is a very light, creamy yellow, almost pastel. Lastly, gamboge is a deep, golden yellow with orange undertones, historically used as a pigment.
