About the daffodil's color

Since 1957 the American Cancer Society has used the daffodil as a symbol of hope — every March, National Daffodil Day raises funds for cancer research. The flower's Latin name comes from the Greek myth of Narcissus. In ToonTone Guess, we represent the daffodil with the hex value #FFEB3B — the color most people see when they picture the bloom in a vase or in a field.
