Color scale — 50 to 950

A Tailwind-shaped ramp built around this exact hex. #767f2d is pinned to step 800; the rest hold its hue and let saturation ease off at the extremes so the pale end never turns neon.

How to use #767f2d

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
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Headers, footers and dark-mode surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Small text on white — under 4.5:1
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Black text placed on it
  • Thin strokes and 1px borders — they disappear on light UI
  • 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 #575E21
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.

optimisticalertcheap-and-cheerfulvisible

The most visible hue at low light levels, which is why it owns warnings, hazard tape and value retail.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

Almost never passes contrast against white. Treat it as a surface or a marker, not as text.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #767f2d 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.

#767f2d, answered

What color is #767f2d?

#767f2d is a dark vivid yellow, closest to Olive (ΔE2000 5.6). It sits at 67° on the hue wheel with 48% saturation and 34% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #767f2d?

rgb(118, 127, 45) — 118 red, 127 green and 45 blue out of 255, or 46.3% / 49.8% / 17.6% by channel.

What is #767f2d in HSL and HSV?

hsl(67, 48%, 34%) and hsv(67, 65%, 50%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #767f2d a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.1922 and perceived brightness is 46%, so black text on it reaches 4.84:1.

Should I use black or white text on #767f2d?

Black. It scores 4.84:1 against #767f2d, versus 4.34:1 for white — AA at any size.

Is #767f2d accessible on a white background?

#767f2d on white scores 4.34:1, which only clears AA for large text — 18.66px bold or 24px regular and up. Darken it to #727B2C to reach 4.5:1, or #565D21 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #767f2d?

#362D7F sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #2D4D7F and #5F2D7F, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #767f2d?

For interface work: #FAFAF4 as the surface, #E5EAC3 for borders, #929B4B for secondary text, #2A3682 as an accent and #575E21 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #7F5F2D and #4D7F2D stays calm, while #362D7F is the loudest partner.

What is #767f2d in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(7%, 0%, 65%, 50%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #767f2d warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 31 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #7F6A2D; nudged cooler, #58812B.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #767f2d?

The stone family — its 500 step is #78716c, ΔE2000 22 away. That is a visible difference, so define #767f2d as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #767f2d in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#767f2d] or text-[#767f2d], 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 #767f2d with 50% opacity?
