How to use #213713

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
  • Text on black or near-black surfaces
  • 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

Safe as a fill behind white type

Safe as a 1px border 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.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. 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 #213713 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.

#213713, answered

#213713 is a deep vivid green, closest to Dark Green (ΔE2000 16.9). It sits at 97° on the hue wheel with 49% saturation and 15% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #213713?

rgb(33, 55, 19) — 33 red, 55 green and 19 blue out of 255, or 12.9% / 21.6% / 7.5% by channel.

What is #213713 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(97, 49%, 15%) and hsv(97, 65%, 22%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #213713 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.0310 and perceived brightness is 18%, so white text on it reaches 12.96:1.

Should I use black or white text on #213713?

White. It scores 12.96:1 against #213713, versus 1.62:1 for black — AAA at any size.

Is #213713 accessible on a white background?

#213713 on white scores 12.96:1, which clears AAA at every size.

What is the complementary color of #213713?

#291337 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #171337 and #371333, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #213713?

For interface work: #F7FAF4 as the surface, #D2EAC2 for borders, #6A9B4B for secondary text, #201238 as an accent and #395F21 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #333713 and #133717 stays calm, while #291337 is the loudest partner.

What is #213713 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(40%, 0%, 66%, 78%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #213713 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 53 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #2E3713; nudged cooler, #133812.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #213713?

The neutral family — its 500 step is #737373, ΔE2000 29.3 away. That is a visible difference, so define #213713 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #213713 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#213713] or text-[#213713], 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 #213713 with 50% opacity?

rgba(33, 55, 19, 0.5), or #21371380 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #909B89; over black, #111C0A.
