  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • 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

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.

The muted chroma softens the association — it reads considered rather than loud, which suits long-form and data-heavy screens. 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 #328247 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.

#328247, answered

What color is #328247?

#328247 is a dark soft green, closest to Sea Green (ΔE2000 4.1). It sits at 136° on the hue wheel with 44% saturation and 35% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #328247?

rgb(50, 130, 71) — 50 red, 130 green and 71 blue out of 255, or 19.6% / 51% / 27.8% by channel.

What is #328247 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(136, 44%, 35%) and hsv(136, 62%, 51%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #328247 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.1710 and perceived brightness is 42%, so white text on it reaches 4.75:1.

Should I use black or white text on #328247?

White. It scores 4.75:1 against #328247, versus 4.42:1 for black — AA at any size.

Is #328247 accessible on a white background?

#328247 on white scores 4.75:1, which clears AA at every size but not AAA.

What is the complementary color of #328247?

#82326D sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #6F3282 and #823245, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #328247?

For interface work: #F4FAF6 as the surface, #C4E8CE for borders, #4B9B60 for secondary text, #862E84 as an accent and #235C32 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #458232 and #32826F stays calm, while #82326D is the loudest partner.

What is #328247 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(62%, 0%, 45%, 49%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #328247 warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 69 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #3A8232; nudged cooler, #308465.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #328247?

The emerald family — its 500 step is #10b981, ΔE2000 18.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #328247 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #328247 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#328247] or text-[#328247], 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 #328247 with 50% opacity?

rgba(50, 130, 71, 0.5), or #32824780 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #99C1A3; over black, #194124.

Is #328247 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #339933, ΔE2000 10.1 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
