Roughly one man in twelve has some form of colour vision deficiency. If any of the three panels above is hard to tell apart from a neighbouring colour in your palette, add a shape, an icon or a label so the meaning does not rest on hue alone.

How to use #3fb752

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
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • 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 #215F2A
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #3AA84B

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 mid lightness keeps it versatile in both themes.

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 #3fb752 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.

#3fb752, answered

What color is #3fb752?

#3fb752 is a balanced vivid green, closest to Medium Sea Green (ΔE2000 6.2). It sits at 130° on the hue wheel with 49% saturation and 48% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #3fb752?

rgb(63, 183, 82) — 63 red, 183 green and 82 blue out of 255, or 24.7% / 71.8% / 32.2% by channel.

What is #3fb752 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(130, 49%, 48%) and hsv(130, 66%, 72%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #3fb752 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3553 and perceived brightness is 58%, so black text on it reaches 8.11:1.

Should I use black or white text on #3fb752?

Black. It scores 8.11:1 against #3fb752, versus 2.59:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #3fb752 accessible on a white background?

#3fb752 on white scores 2.59:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #2E863C to reach 4.5:1, or #22632D for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #3fb752?

#B73FA4 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #8E3FB7 and #B73F68, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #3fb752?

For interface work: #F4FAF5 as the surface, #C2EAC9 for borders, #4B9B57 for secondary text, #B03ABC as an accent and #215F2A for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #68B73F and #3FB78E stays calm, while #B73FA4 is the loudest partner.

What is #3fb752 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(66%, 0%, 55%, 28%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #3fb752 warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 66 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #58B73F; nudged cooler, #3CB97E.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #3fb752?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #3fb752 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #3fb752 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#3fb752] or text-[#3fb752], 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 #3fb752 with 50% opacity?

rgba(63, 183, 82, 0.5), or #3fb75280 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #9FDBA9; over black, #205C29.

Is #3fb752 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #33CC66, ΔE2000 5.7 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #3fb752 mean?
