How to use #0cd07d

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

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • 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
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • 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
Not as text
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #077948
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #0AA966

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.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #0cd07d over white; the bottom row is the same alpha over a checkerboard, so you can see what survives on a photo or a video.

Bottom row of hexes is the flattened result over white — use those when a design tool refuses transparency, or when you need a solid fallback.

#0cd07d, answered

What color is #0cd07d?

#0cd07d is a dark electric green, closest to Medium Sea Green (ΔE2000 7.8). It sits at 155° on the hue wheel with 89% saturation and 43% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #0cd07d?

rgb(12, 208, 125) — 12 red, 208 green and 125 blue out of 255, or 4.7% / 81.6% / 49% by channel.

What is #0cd07d in HSL and HSV?

hsl(155, 89%, 43%) and hsv(155, 94%, 82%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #0cd07d a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.4667 and perceived brightness is 65%, so black text on it reaches 10.33:1.

Should I use black or white text on #0cd07d?

Black. It scores 10.33:1 against #0cd07d, versus 2.03:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #0cd07d accessible on a white background?

#0cd07d on white scores 2.03:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #088751 to reach 4.5:1, or #06663D for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #0cd07d?

#D00C5F sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #D00CC1 and #D01B0C, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #0cd07d?

For interface work: #F4FAF8 as the surface, #C0EDDA for borders, #4B9B79 for secondary text, #D40891 as an accent and #077948 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #0CD01B and #0CC1D0 stays calm, while #D00C5F is the loudest partner.

What is #0cd07d in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(94%, 0%, 40%, 18%). 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 #0cd07d warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 77 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #0CD035; nudged cooler, #0AD2C7.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #0cd07d?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 4.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #0cd07d as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #0cd07d in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#0cd07d] or text-[#0cd07d], 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 #0cd07d with 50% opacity?

rgba(12, 208, 125, 0.5), or #0cd07d80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #86E8BE; over black, #06683F.

Is #0cd07d a web-safe color?
