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 #7eb84f

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 #3D5B25
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #6DA241

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 #7eb84f 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.

#7eb84f, answered

What color is #7eb84f?

#7eb84f is a balanced soft green, closest to Yellow Green (ΔE2000 8.5). It sits at 93° on the hue wheel with 43% saturation and 52% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #7eb84f?

rgb(126, 184, 79) — 126 red, 184 green and 79 blue out of 255, or 49.4% / 72.2% / 31% by channel.

What is #7eb84f in HSL and HSV?

hsl(93, 43%, 52%) and hsv(93, 57%, 72%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #7eb84f a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3928 and perceived brightness is 62%, so black text on it reaches 8.86:1.

Should I use black or white text on #7eb84f?

Black. It scores 8.86:1 against #7eb84f, versus 2.37:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #7eb84f accessible on a white background?

#7eb84f on white scores 2.37:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #578134 to reach 4.5:1, or #416127 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #7eb84f?

#894FB8 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #554FB8 and #B84FB3, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #7eb84f?

For interface work: #F7FAF4 as the surface, #D4E8C5 for borders, #6F9B4B for secondary text, #6D4ABD as an accent and #3D5B25 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #B3B84F and #4FB855 stays calm, while #894FB8 is the loudest partner.

What is #7eb84f in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(32%, 0%, 57%, 28%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #7eb84f warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 51 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #A5B84F; nudged cooler, #56BB4D.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #7eb84f?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 8.1 away. That is a visible difference, so define #7eb84f as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #7eb84f in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#7eb84f] or text-[#7eb84f], 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 #7eb84f with 50% opacity?

rgba(126, 184, 79, 0.5), or #7eb84f80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #BFDCA7; over black, #3F5C28.

Is #7eb84f a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #66CC66, ΔE2000 7.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #7eb84f 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 #7eb84f?
