thanks to @PMunch we now have a nice image from which to pick from (currently) valid colors for github: [https://github.com/PMunch/colourfinder](https://github.com/PMunch/colourfinder)
In the image the blacked out areas are those that color-proximity test in linguist would declare invalid. This is based on CIEDE2000 color distance, see [https://github.com/pietroppeter/color_distance](https://github.com/pietroppeter/color_distance). My proposal would be to use #ffc200: [https://www.color-hex.com/color/ffc200](https://www.color-hex.com/color/ffc200) * it is in the middle of the spectrum (full saturation). * it is between Yellow (color of crown) and Orange (Araq's favorite color). **Note 1** : to pick a color I used: [https://pinetools.com/image-color-picker](https://pinetools.com/image-color-picker) **Note 2** : I was not able to use the `.. raw::html` rst directive in forum to add `<div style="background-color: #ffc200; padding: 10px;"></div>`. I am not sure why since the rst parser seems to support it, maybe it would be fixed by a forum update or maybe I just did something wrong.
