Stackoverflow ques-tion highlight color

Question

I'm trying to find the color that stackoverflow uses to highlight the background when a question answer link is followed

For example the following Is there a float input type in HTML(5)?

Thanks

The colour starts as #F4A83D and it then fades to white. The animation is controlled via jQuery which sets the style attribute directly. No CSS transition is involved. I determined this by setting a breakpoint on changes to the element's attributes.
