Roughly one man in twelve has some form of colour vision deficiency. If any of the three panels above is hard to tell apart from a neighbouring colour in your palette, add a shape, an icon or a label so the meaning does not rest on hue alone.

How to use #7cfe49

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 #247F01
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #30A801

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.

#7cfe49, answered

What color is #7cfe49?

#7cfe49 is a balanced electric green, closest to Lawn Green (ΔE2000 3.3). It sits at 103° on the hue wheel with 99% saturation and 64% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #7cfe49?

rgb(124, 254, 73) — 124 red, 254 green and 73 blue out of 255, or 48.6% / 99.6% / 28.6% by channel.

What is #7cfe49 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(103, 99%, 64%) and hsv(103, 71%, 100%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #7cfe49 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7565 and perceived brightness is 81%, so black text on it reaches 16.13:1.

Should I use black or white text on #7cfe49?

Black. It scores 16.13:1 against #7cfe49, versus 1.30:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #7cfe49 accessible on a white background?

#7cfe49 on white scores 1.30:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #278901 to reach 4.5:1, or #1D6601 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #7cfe49?

#CB49FE sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #7049FE and #FE49D6, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #7cfe49?

For interface work: #F6FAF4 as the surface, #CCEDC0 for borders, #619B4B for secondary text, #9E48FF as an accent and #247F01 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #D6FE49 and #49FE70 stays calm, while #CB49FE is the loudest partner.

What is #7cfe49 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(51%, 0%, 71%, 0%). 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 #7cfe49 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 #BEFE49; nudged cooler, #48FF57.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #7cfe49?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 11.7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #7cfe49 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #7cfe49 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#7cfe49] or text-[#7cfe49], 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 #7cfe49 with 50% opacity?

rgba(124, 254, 73, 0.5), or #7cfe4980 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #BEFFA4; over black, #3E7F25.

Is #7cfe49 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #66FF33, ΔE2000 1.7 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #7cfe49 mean?
