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 #7eb95f

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 #385927
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #67A347

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 #7eb95f 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.

#7eb95f, answered

What color is #7eb95f?

#7eb95f is a balanced soft green, closest to Dark Sea Green (ΔE2000 9.3). It sits at 99° on the hue wheel with 39% saturation and 55% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #7eb95f?

rgb(126, 185, 95) — 126 red, 185 green and 95 blue out of 255, or 49.4% / 72.5% / 37.3% by channel.

What is #7eb95f in HSL and HSV?

hsl(99, 39%, 55%) and hsv(99, 49%, 73%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #7eb95f a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3996 and perceived brightness is 63%, so black text on it reaches 8.99:1.

Should I use black or white text on #7eb95f?

Black. It scores 8.99:1 against #7eb95f, versus 2.34:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #7eb95f accessible on a white background?

#7eb95f on white scores 2.34:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #507F38 to reach 4.5:1, or #3C5F2A for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #7eb95f?

#9A5FB9 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #6D5FB9 and #B95FAB, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #7eb95f?

For interface work: #F6FAF4 as the surface, #D1E6C6 for borders, #669B4B for secondary text, #835ABE as an accent and #385927 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #ABB95F and #5FB96D stays calm, while #9A5FB9 is the loudest partner.

What is #7eb95f in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(32%, 0%, 49%, 28%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #7eb95f warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 54 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #9FB95F; nudged cooler, #5DBB5F.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #7eb95f?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 8.9 away. That is a visible difference, so define #7eb95f as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #7eb95f in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#7eb95f] or text-[#7eb95f], 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 #7eb95f with 50% opacity?

rgba(126, 185, 95, 0.5), or #7eb95f80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #BFDCAF; over black, #3F5D30.

Is #7eb95f a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #66CC66, ΔE2000 6.3 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #7eb95f mean?

As a green, it reads safe, growing, natural. Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed. At this moderate chroma the association is present but not shouted.

What gradient works with #7eb95f?
