> What are the colors you picked? Ideally in a perceptual colorspace

the base color (--marker-yellow in colors.scss) is `#f7d93a`, as shown in the picture above.

Additionaly, a block in the _markers.html.erb defines a "lighter" variant of the pin overlay:

```
    <linearGradient id="fill" x1="0" x2="0" y1="0" y2="40" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
      <stop offset="0" stop-color="#aaa6" />
      <stop offset="1" stop-color="#2224" />
    </linearGradient>
    <%# Lighter variant of #fill, used only by the exclam pin: a fainter wash on
        top and less darkening at the bottom, so the bright yellow note pin keeps
        its brightness/contrast instead of being muted like the default pins. %>
    <linearGradient id="fill-exclam" x1="0" x2="0" y1="0" y2="40" gradientUnits="userSpaceOnUse">
      <stop offset="0" stop-color="#fff3" />
      <stop offset="1" stop-color="#2222" />
    </linearGradient>
```

this is then picked later:

```
      <%# exclam uses the lighter #fill-exclam overlay; every other pin uses #fill. %>
      <% body_overlay = type == "exclam" ? "fill-exclam" : "fill" %>
      <g id="pin-<%= type %>" clip-path="url(#pin-clip)">
        <use href="#pin-path" fill="currentColor" />
        <use href="#pin-path" fill="url(#<%= body_overlay %>)" />
```

The thing I'm most worrying about is, that the yellow-ish pin gets buried in very busy areas.

Compare this:

with this:
