where this color comes from
McDonald's yellow is the color of the two arches that form the big M, the famous “golden arches”: in the game's drawing it is #FFCC00. It's the shade of the drawing used in the game, not an official color. On signs, packaging and screens, the M can look more orange or paler depending on the light.
Fun fact: in the game, this yellow has exactly the same code as the gold stripe of the German flag (#FFCC00, a ΔE gap of 0). It is also close to IKEA yellow (#FBD914, ΔE of 4.9), which is slightly cooler. The most common mistake is to remember it as more orange, because the M often appears on a red background that warms it up. On its own against white, it is a sunny yellow, pure and bright, with no trace of brown. In the big square, keep it very light.
