Color scale — 50 to 950

A Tailwind-shaped ramp built around this exact hex. #92a720 is pinned to step 700; the rest hold its hue and let saturation ease off at the extremes so the pale end never turns neon.

How to use #92a720

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

Works well for
  • Text and icons on dark surfaces
  • Primary buttons and calls to action
  • Focus rings, active and selected states
  • Headers, footers and dark-mode surfaces
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • Black text placed on it
  • Thin strokes and 1px borders — they disappear on light UI
  • 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 #5E6B15
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #8A9E1E

Meaning and mood

What a colour in this family tends to signal, and how this particular chroma and lightness change the reading.

optimisticalertcheap-and-cheerfulvisible

The most visible hue at low light levels, which is why it owns warnings, hazard tape and value retail.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. The low lightness adds weight and formality.

Worth knowing

Almost never passes contrast against white. Treat it as a surface or a marker, not as text.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #92a720 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.

#92a720, answered

What color is #92a720?

#92a720 is a dark vivid yellow, closest to Olive Drab (ΔE2000 10.3). It sits at 69° on the hue wheel with 68% saturation and 39% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #92a720?

rgb(146, 167, 32) — 146 red, 167 green and 32 blue out of 255, or 57.3% / 65.5% / 12.5% by channel.

What is #92a720 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(69, 68%, 39%) and hsv(69, 81%, 65%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #92a720 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3385 and perceived brightness is 59%, so black text on it reaches 7.77:1.

Should I use black or white text on #92a720?

Black. It scores 7.77:1 against #92a720, versus 2.70:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #92a720 accessible on a white background?

#92a720 on white scores 2.70:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #6D7C18 to reach 4.5:1, or #525E12 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #92a720?

#3520A7 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #204FA7 and #7820A7, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #92a720?

For interface work: #F9FAF4 as the surface, #E6EDC0 for borders, #8E9B4B for secondary text, #1C2AAB as an accent and #5E6B15 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #A77820 and #4FA720 stays calm, while #3520A7 is the loudest partner.

What is #92a720 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(13%, 0%, 81%, 35%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #92a720 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 33 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #A78A20; nudged cooler, #60A91E.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #92a720?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 11.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #92a720 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #92a720 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#92a720] or text-[#92a720], 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 #92a720 with 50% opacity?
