How to use #77eb4b

Derived from its contrast, chroma and lightness — not from taste.

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • 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
Not as text
Safe as a fill behind white type
No — use #29730D
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #3CA913

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.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. 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.

#77eb4b, answered

What color is #77eb4b?

#77eb4b is a balanced electric green, closest to Lawn Green (ΔE2000 5.6). It sits at 104° on the hue wheel with 80% saturation and 61% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #77eb4b?

rgb(119, 235, 75) — 119 red, 235 green and 75 blue out of 255, or 46.7% / 92.2% / 29.4% by channel.

What is #77eb4b in HSL and HSV?

hsl(104, 80%, 61%) and hsv(104, 68%, 92%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #77eb4b a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.6385 and perceived brightness is 76%, so black text on it reaches 13.77:1.

Should I use black or white text on #77eb4b?

Black. It scores 13.77:1 against #77eb4b, versus 1.53:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #77eb4b accessible on a white background?

#77eb4b on white scores 1.53:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #2F840F to reach 4.5:1, or #24640B for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #77eb4b?

#BF4BEB sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #6F4BEB and #EB4BC7, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #77eb4b?

For interface work: #F6FAF4 as the surface, #CCEDC0 for borders, #619B4B for secondary text, #9747EF as an accent and #29730D for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #C7EB4B and #4BEB6F stays calm, while #BF4BEB is the loudest partner.

What is #77eb4b in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(49%, 0%, 68%, 8%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #77eb4b warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 56 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #B2EB4B; nudged cooler, #49ED58.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #77eb4b?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 8.5 away. That is a visible difference, so define #77eb4b as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #77eb4b in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#77eb4b] or text-[#77eb4b], 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 #77eb4b with 50% opacity?

rgba(119, 235, 75, 0.5), or #77eb4b80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #BBF5A5; over black, #3C7626.

Is #77eb4b a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #66FF33, ΔE2000 4.8 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #77eb4b mean?
