McDonald's is a strong Brand Tone card because the Golden Arches are both a symbol and a color memory. The prompt focuses on the arches, so the answer should feel like lit signage rather than flat lemon yellow.
The target is #FFC72C, a warm golden yellow at HSB(44°, 83%, 100%). It reaches full brightness, but the saturation is not pure neon yellow because the hue carries a clear orange warmth.
The red background many people associate with McDonald's can bias the yellow warmer and darker. The scoring color keeps the arches bright enough to stand alone.
When studying it, picture the curved arches first. Their color should read as gold from a distance, not school-bus orange and not highlighter yellow.
