How to use #608132

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
  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Headers, footers and dark-mode surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • 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 #445C24
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.

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.

#608132, answered

What color is #608132?

#608132 is a dark soft green, closest to Olive Drab (ΔE2000 6). It sits at 85° on the hue wheel with 44% saturation and 35% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #608132?

rgb(96, 129, 50) — 96 red, 129 green and 50 blue out of 255, or 37.6% / 50.6% / 19.6% by channel.

What is #608132 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(85, 44%, 35%) and hsv(85, 61%, 51%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #608132 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.1842 and perceived brightness is 44%, so black text on it reaches 4.68:1.

Should I use black or white text on #608132?

Black. It scores 4.68:1 against #608132, versus 4.48:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #608132 accessible on a white background?

#608132 on white scores 4.48:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #5D7D31 to reach 4.5:1, or #476025 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #608132?

#533281 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #323881 and #7B3281, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #608132?

For interface work: #F8FAF4 as the surface, #D9E8C4 for borders, #799B4B for secondary text, #3D2E85 as an accent and #445C24 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #817B32 and #388132 stays calm, while #533281 is the loudest partner.

What is #608132 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(26%, 0%, 61%, 49%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #608132 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 46 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #7D8132; nudged cooler, #428330.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #608132?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 22.1 away. That is a visible difference, so define #608132 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #608132 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#608132] or text-[#608132], 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 #608132 with 50% opacity?
