How to use #92af71

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 #41522E
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #7E9E59

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 #92af71 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.

#92af71, answered

What color is #92af71?

#92af71 is a balanced soft green, closest to Dark Sea Green (ΔE2000 6.9). It sits at 88° on the hue wheel with 28% saturation and 57% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #92af71?

rgb(146, 175, 113) — 146 red, 175 green and 113 blue out of 255, or 57.3% / 68.6% / 44.3% by channel.

What is #92af71 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(88, 28%, 57%) and hsv(88, 35%, 69%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #92af71 a light or a dark color?

It is a mid-tone. Relative luminance is 0.3796 and perceived brightness is 63%, so black text on it reaches 8.59:1.

Should I use black or white text on #92af71?

Black. It scores 8.59:1 against #92af71, versus 2.44:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #92af71 accessible on a white background?

#92af71 on white scores 2.44:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #647E47 to reach 4.5:1, or #4A5D34 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #92af71?

#8E71AF sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #7173AF and #AD71AF, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #92af71?

For interface work: #F7F9F5 as the surface, #D7E2CB for borders, #759353 for secondary text, #7C6DB3 as an accent and #41522E for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #AFAD71 and #73AF71 stays calm, while #8E71AF is the loudest partner.

What is #92af71 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(17%, 0%, 35%, 31%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #92af71 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 49 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #A9AF71; nudged cooler, #7AB16F.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #92af71?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 14.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #92af71 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #92af71 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#92af71] or text-[#92af71], 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 #92af71 with 50% opacity?

rgba(146, 175, 113, 0.5), or #92af7180 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #C9D7B8; over black, #495839.

Is #92af71 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #999966, ΔE2000 9.3 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
