How to use #7da77f

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

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Charts, tags and secondary surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • 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 #334C35
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #719F73

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 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.

#7da77f, answered

What color is #7da77f?

#7da77f is a balanced soft green, closest to Dark Sea Green (ΔE2000 6). It sits at 123° on the hue wheel with 19% saturation and 57% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #7da77f?

rgb(125, 167, 127) — 125 red, 167 green and 127 blue out of 255, or 49% / 65.5% / 49.8% by channel.

What is #7da77f in HSL and HSV?

hsl(123, 19%, 57%) and hsv(123, 25%, 65%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #7da77f a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3353 and perceived brightness is 59%, so black text on it reaches 7.71:1.

Should I use black or white text on #7da77f?

Black. It scores 7.71:1 against #7da77f, versus 2.73:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #7da77f accessible on a white background?

#7da77f on white scores 2.73:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #557E57 to reach 4.5:1, or #405F42 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #7da77f?

#A77DA5 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #947DA7 and #A77D90, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #7da77f?

For interface work: #F6F9F6 as the surface, #CEDECF for borders, #5D895F for secondary text, #A179AB as an accent and #334C35 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #90A77D and #7DA794 stays calm, while #A77DA5 is the loudest partner.

What is #7da77f in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(25%, 0%, 24%, 35%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #7da77f warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 58 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #8AA77D; nudged cooler, #7BA98E.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #7da77f?

The emerald family — its 500 step is #10b981, ΔE2000 11.7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #7da77f as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #7da77f in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#7da77f] or text-[#7da77f], 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 #7da77f with 50% opacity?

rgba(125, 167, 127, 0.5), or #7da77f80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #BED3BF; over black, #3F5440.

Is #7da77f a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #669966, ΔE2000 6.1 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
