Color scale — 50 to 950

How to use #95d034

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
  • Brand accents, badges and data highlights
  • Chart series and data categories
Use with care
  • Text of any size on white — fails WCAG AA
  • Full-page backgrounds — tiring over long sessions
  • 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 #496818
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #73A225

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.

This is a confident chroma: strong enough to lead a brand, restrained enough to live in an interface all day. 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 #95d034 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.

#95d034, answered

What color is #95d034?

#95d034 is a balanced vivid green, closest to Yellow Green (ΔE2000 1.3). It sits at 83° on the hue wheel with 62% saturation and 51% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #95d034?

rgb(149, 208, 52) — 149 red, 208 green and 52 blue out of 255, or 58.4% / 81.6% / 20.4% by channel.

What is #95d034 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(83, 62%, 51%) and hsv(83, 75%, 82%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #95d034 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.5175 and perceived brightness is 71%, so black text on it reaches 11.35:1.

Should I use black or white text on #95d034?

Black. It scores 11.35:1 against #95d034, versus 1.85:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #95d034 accessible on a white background?

#95d034 on white scores 1.85:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #5B801E to reach 4.5:1, or #445F16 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #95d034?

#6F34D0 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #3447D0 and #BD34D0, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #95d034?

For interface work: #F8FAF4 as the surface, #DCEDC0 for borders, #7D9B4B for secondary text, #442FD5 as an accent and #496818 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #D0BD34 and #47D034 stays calm, while #6F34D0 is the loudest partner.

What is #95d034 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(28%, 0%, 75%, 18%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #95d034 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 44 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #CED034; nudged cooler, #5BD332.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #95d034?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 2.4 away. That is close enough to swap in without anyone noticing.

How do I use #95d034 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#95d034] or text-[#95d034], 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 #95d034 with 50% opacity?

rgba(149, 208, 52, 0.5), or #95d03480 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #CAE89A; over black, #4B681A.
