How to use #07803f

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Body text and links on white
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Headers, footers and dark-mode surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Black text placed on it
  • Status meaning — pair it with an icon or label, never colour alone
  • Pairing with a same-lightness hue — edges vibrate
Minimum size as text on white

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

safegrowingnaturalpermissive

Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

Red/green pairs are the most common colour-blindness failure — never let the two carry meaning alone.

#07803f, answered

What color is #07803f?

#07803f is a dark electric green, closest to Sea Green (ΔE2000 5.7). It sits at 148° on the hue wheel with 90% saturation and 27% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #07803f?

rgb(7, 128, 63) — 7 red, 128 green and 63 blue out of 255, or 2.7% / 50.2% / 24.7% by channel.

What is #07803f in HSL and HSV?

hsl(148, 90%, 27%) and hsv(148, 95%, 50%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #07803f a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.1584 and perceived brightness is 39%, so white text on it reaches 5.04:1.

Should I use black or white text on #07803f?

White. It scores 5.04:1 against #07803f, versus 4.17:1 for black — AA at any size.

Is #07803f accessible on a white background?

#07803f on white scores 5.04:1, which clears AA at every size but not AAA.

What is the complementary color of #07803f?

#800748 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #7C0780 and #80070B, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #07803f?

For interface work: #F4FAF7 as the surface, #C0EDD5 for borders, #4B9B70 for secondary text, #830468 as an accent and #07793C for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #0B8007 and #07807C stays calm, while #800748 is the loudest partner.

What is #07803f in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(95%, 0%, 51%, 50%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #07803f warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 74 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #078013; nudged cooler, #06816C.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #07803f?

The emerald family — its 500 step is #10b981, ΔE2000 19.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #07803f as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #07803f in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#07803f] or text-[#07803f], or register the whole ramp under theme.extend.colors.brand so you get bg-brand-500 and friends. The generated 50–950 scale on this page is ready to paste into your config.

What is #07803f with 50% opacity?

rgba(7, 128, 63, 0.5), or #07803f80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #83C09F; over black, #044020.

Is #07803f a web-safe color?
