  • 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.

With almost no chroma left, the family association is barely present; treat it as a neutral that happens to lean this way. 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 #707362 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.

#707362, answered

What color is #707362?

#707362 is a dark muted green, closest to Dim Gray (ΔE2000 9.5). It sits at 71° on the hue wheel with 8% saturation and 42% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #707362?

rgb(112, 115, 98) — 112 red, 115 green and 98 blue out of 255, or 43.9% / 45.1% / 38.4% by channel.

What is #707362 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(71, 8%, 42%) and hsv(71, 15%, 45%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #707362 a light or a dark color?

It is a dark color. Relative luminance is 0.1659 and perceived brightness is 44%, so white text on it reaches 4.86:1.

Should I use black or white text on #707362?

White. It scores 4.86:1 against #707362, versus 4.32:1 for black — AA at any size.

Is #707362 accessible on a white background?

#707362 on white scores 4.86:1, which clears AA at every size but not AAA.

What is the complementary color of #707362?

#656273 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #626873 and #6E6273, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #707362?

For interface work: #F8F8F7 as the surface, #D8D9D3 for borders, #797C6A for secondary text, #5E6077 as an accent and #43453B for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #736E62 and #687362 stays calm, while #656273 is the loudest partner.

What is #707362 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(3%, 0%, 15%, 55%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #707362 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 #7F6E60; nudged cooler, #576574.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #707362?

The neutral family — its 500 step is #737373, ΔE2000 9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #707362 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #707362 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#707362] or text-[#707362], 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 #707362 with 50% opacity?

rgba(112, 115, 98, 0.5), or #70736280 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #B8B9B1; over black, #383A31.

Is #707362 a web-safe color?
