Charlie Brown's shirt is iconic because of the zigzag, not because the yellow is loud. The strip and specials have a softer visual rhythm than modern high-saturation cartoons.
That means a bright poster yellow can look too confident for Charlie Brown. The right color is warm and readable, but still gentle.
Start with yellow and lower the intensity until it feels like fabric. The black stripe will do the work of recognition.
If the preview looks like a mascot costume, reduce saturation. Charlie's shirt should feel familiar, simple, and slightly vintage.

The saved answer for Charlie Brown Shirt is #F2C84B, a yellow color with HSB 45°, 69%, 95%. Treat it like a flat outfit color: folds and outlines help with recognition, but they should not change the answer.
Use small saturation moves here. A big hue swing usually changes more than this target needs. The target is bright, but a slightly darker guess can turn muddy fast. Use those two checks before changing the whole hue. This round is about Shirt, not the full Peanuts Specials (1965) palette. Keep shadows, outlines, and nearby costume colors out of the guess when you judge Shirt. Those details can push memory away from #F2C84B.
RGB 242, 200, 75 gives the channel mix. HSL 45°, 87%, 62% is a second lightness check when the preview looks close but still feels off. If the score is close but still low, check whether the guess stayed in the yellow family. Then compare brightness 95% and saturation 69% with what you remembered.
