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.

Color scale — 50 to 950

How to use #7bc074

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 #2C5828
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #54A64B

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.

#7bc074, answered

What color is #7bc074?

#7bc074 is a balanced soft green, closest to Dark Sea Green (ΔE2000 6.9). It sits at 115° on the hue wheel with 38% saturation and 60% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #7bc074?

rgb(123, 192, 116) — 123 red, 192 green and 116 blue out of 255, or 48.2% / 75.3% / 45.5% by channel.

What is #7bc074 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(115, 38%, 60%) and hsv(114, 40%, 75%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #7bc074 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.4317 and perceived brightness is 65%, so black text on it reaches 9.63:1.

Should I use black or white text on #7bc074?

Black. It scores 9.63:1 against #7bc074, versus 2.18:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #7bc074 accessible on a white background?

#7bc074 on white scores 2.18:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #42833C to reach 4.5:1, or #32642D for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #7bc074?

#B974C0 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #9374C0 and #C074A1, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #7bc074?

For interface work: #F5FAF4 as the surface, #CAE6C7 for borders, #529B4B for secondary text, #A770C4 as an accent and #2C5828 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #A1C074 and #74C093 stays calm, while #B974C0 is the loudest partner.

What is #7bc074 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(36%, 0%, 40%, 25%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #7bc074 warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 60 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #97C074; nudged cooler, #72C288.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #7bc074?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 7.6 away. That is a visible difference, so define #7bc074 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #7bc074 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#7bc074] or text-[#7bc074], 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 #7bc074 with 50% opacity?

rgba(123, 192, 116, 0.5), or #7bc07480 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #BDE0BA; over black, #3E603A.

Is #7bc074 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #66CC66, ΔE2000 5.1 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
