How to use #7eb144

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 #425C23
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #73A23E

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.

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #7eb144 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.

#7eb144, answered

What color is #7eb144?

#7eb144 is a balanced soft green, closest to Yellow Green (ΔE2000 9). It sits at 88° on the hue wheel with 45% saturation and 48% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #7eb144?

rgb(126, 177, 68) — 126 red, 177 green and 68 blue out of 255, or 49.4% / 69.4% / 26.7% by channel.

What is #7eb144 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(88, 45%, 48%) and hsv(88, 62%, 69%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #7eb144 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3630 and perceived brightness is 60%, so black text on it reaches 8.26:1.

Should I use black or white text on #7eb144?

Black. It scores 8.26:1 against #7eb144, versus 2.54:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #7eb144 accessible on a white background?

#7eb144 on white scores 2.54:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #5C8132 to reach 4.5:1, or #446025 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #7eb144?

#7744B1 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #4447B1 and #AD44B1, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #7eb144?

For interface work: #F8FAF4 as the surface, #D7E8C4 for borders, #759B4B for secondary text, #593FB6 as an accent and #425C23 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #B1AD44 and #47B144 stays calm, while #7744B1 is the loudest partner.

What is #7eb144 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(29%, 0%, 62%, 31%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #7eb144 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 48 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #A6B144; nudged cooler, #54B341.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #7eb144?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 8.7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #7eb144 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #7eb144 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#7eb144] or text-[#7eb144], 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 #7eb144 with 50% opacity?

rgba(126, 177, 68, 0.5), or #7eb14480 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #BFD8A2; over black, #3F5922.

Is #7eb144 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #669933, ΔE2000 7.6 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
