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 #92dfbb

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
  • Card and section backgrounds
  • 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
  • White text placed on it
  • 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 #1D6342
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #31A770

Meaning and mood

Green means go, well, and grown. It carries finance, sustainability and health with almost no explanation needed.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. The lightness keeps it airy and approachable.

Worth knowing

Red/green pairs are the most common colour-blindness failure — never let the two carry meaning alone.

Transparency

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

#92dfbb, answered

What color is #92dfbb?

#92dfbb is a light vivid green, closest to Medium Aqua Marine (ΔE2000 6.1). It sits at 152° on the hue wheel with 55% saturation and 72% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #92dfbb?

rgb(146, 223, 187) — 146 red, 223 green and 187 blue out of 255, or 57.3% / 87.5% / 73.3% by channel.

What is #92dfbb in HSL and HSV?

hsl(152, 55%, 72%) and hsv(152, 35%, 87%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #92dfbb a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.6247 and perceived brightness is 78%, so black text on it reaches 13.49:1.

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

Black. It scores 13.49:1 against #92dfbb, versus 1.56:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #92dfbb accessible on a white background?

#92dfbb on white scores 1.56:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #278458 to reach 4.5:1, or #1D6443 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #92dfbb?

#DF92B6 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #DF92DD and #DF9592, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #92dfbb?

For interface work: #F4FAF8 as the surface, #C0ECD8 for borders, #4B9B75 for secondary text, #A22A81 as an accent and #1D6342 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #92DF95 and #92DDDF stays calm, while #DF92B6 is the loudest partner.

What is #92dfbb in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(35%, 0%, 16%, 13%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #92dfbb warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 76 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #92DF9F; nudged cooler, #91E0D8.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #92dfbb?

The emerald family — its 500 step is #10b981, ΔE2000 14 away. That is a visible difference, so define #92dfbb as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #92dfbb in Tailwind CSS?

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

rgba(146, 223, 187, 0.5), or #92dfbb80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #C9EFDD; over black, #49705E.

Is #92dfbb a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #99CCCC, ΔE2000 13.4 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #92dfbb 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 chroma the effect is amplified — it will dominate whatever sits beside it.

What gradient works with #92dfbb?
