How to use #708678

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
  • Borders, dividers and quiet backgrounds
  • Long-form reading surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • 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 #3A453E
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.

With almost no chroma left, the family association is barely present; treat it as a neutral that happens to lean this way. 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 #708678 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.

#708678, answered

What color is #708678?

#708678 is a balanced muted green, closest to Gray (ΔE2000 12.3). It sits at 142° on the hue wheel with 9% saturation and 48% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #708678?

rgb(112, 134, 120) — 112 red, 134 green and 120 blue out of 255, or 43.9% / 52.5% / 47.1% by channel.

What is #708678 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(142, 9%, 48%) and hsv(142, 16%, 53%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #708678 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2185 and perceived brightness is 49%, so black text on it reaches 5.37:1.

Should I use black or white text on #708678?

Black. It scores 5.37:1 against #708678, versus 3.91:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #708678 accessible on a white background?

#708678 on white scores 3.91:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #677B6E to reach 4.5:1, or #4D5C53 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #708678?

#86707E sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #837086 and #867073, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #708678?

For interface work: #F7F8F7 as the surface, #D3DAD5 for borders, #697D70 for secondary text, #8B6B87 as an accent and #3A453E for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #738670 and #708683 stays calm, while #86707E is the loudest partner.

What is #708678 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(16%, 0%, 10%, 48%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #708678 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 55 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #927E6E; nudged cooler, #657586.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #708678?

The neutral family — its 500 step is #737373, ΔE2000 13.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #708678 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #708678 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#708678] or text-[#708678], 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.
