How to use #758359

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 #444C34
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.

#758359, answered

What color is #758359?

#758359 is a dark soft green, closest to Dark Olive Green (ΔE2000 11.3). It sits at 80° on the hue wheel with 19% saturation and 43% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #758359?

rgb(117, 131, 89) — 117 red, 131 green and 89 blue out of 255, or 45.9% / 51.4% / 34.9% by channel.

What is #758359 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(80, 19%, 43%) and hsv(80, 32%, 51%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #758359 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.2074 and perceived brightness is 48%, so black text on it reaches 5.15:1.

Should I use black or white text on #758359?

Black. It scores 5.15:1 against #758359, versus 4.08:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #758359 accessible on a white background?

#758359 on white scores 4.08:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #6D7A53 to reach 4.5:1, or #525B3E for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #758359?

#675983 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #596083 and #7C5983, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #758359?

For interface work: #F8F9F6 as the surface, #D9DECE for borders, #7A895D for secondary text, #595587 as an accent and #444C34 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #837C59 and #608359 stays calm, while #675983 is the loudest partner.

What is #758359 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(11%, 0%, 32%, 49%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #758359 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 45 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #838159; nudged cooler, #658557.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #758359?

The neutral family — its 500 step is #737373, ΔE2000 17.7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #758359 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #758359 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#758359] or text-[#758359], 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.
