How to use #369346

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

Works well for
  • Headings from 24px up on white
  • 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
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • 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
24px / 18.66px bold
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #225D2C
Safe as a 1px border on white
Yes

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.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #369346 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.

#369346, answered

What color is #369346?

#369346 is a dark vivid green, closest to Forest Green (ΔE2000 5.5). It sits at 130° on the hue wheel with 46% saturation and 39% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #369346?

rgb(54, 147, 70) — 54 red, 147 green and 70 blue out of 255, or 21.2% / 57.6% / 27.5% by channel.

What is #369346 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(130, 46%, 39%) and hsv(130, 63%, 58%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #369346 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2209 and perceived brightness is 47%, so black text on it reaches 5.42:1.

Should I use black or white text on #369346?

Black. It scores 5.42:1 against #369346, versus 3.88:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #369346 accessible on a white background?

#369346 on white scores 3.88:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #30843F to reach 4.5:1, or #24622F for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #369346?

#933683 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #743693 and #933654, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #369346?

For interface work: #F4FAF5 as the surface, #C3E9CA for borders, #4B9B58 for secondary text, #8F3297 as an accent and #225D2C for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #549336 and #369374 stays calm, while #933683 is the loudest partner.

What is #369346 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(63%, 0%, 52%, 42%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #369346 warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 67 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #489336; nudged cooler, #349568.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #369346?

The emerald family — its 500 step is #10b981, ΔE2000 13.7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #369346 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #369346 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#369346] or text-[#369346], 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.
