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 #abc76f

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 #4A5C24
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #7F9D3D

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.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #abc76f 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.

#abc76f, answered

What color is #abc76f?

#abc76f is a balanced soft green, closest to Yellow Green (ΔE2000 7.8). It sits at 79° on the hue wheel with 44% saturation and 61% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #abc76f?

rgb(171, 199, 111) — 171 red, 199 green and 111 blue out of 255, or 67.1% / 78% / 43.5% by channel.

What is #abc76f in HSL and HSV?

hsl(79, 44%, 61%) and hsv(79, 44%, 78%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #abc76f a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.5065 and perceived brightness is 72%, so black text on it reaches 11.13:1.

Should I use black or white text on #abc76f?

Black. It scores 11.13:1 against #abc76f, versus 1.89:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #abc76f accessible on a white background?

#abc76f on white scores 1.89:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #647C30 to reach 4.5:1, or #4C5F25 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #abc76f?

#8B6FC7 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #6F7FC7 and #B76FC7, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #abc76f?

For interface work: #F8FAF4 as the surface, #DDE8C4 for borders, #819B4B for secondary text, #726BCB as an accent and #4A5C24 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #C7B76F and #7FC76F stays calm, while #8B6FC7 is the loudest partner.

What is #abc76f in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(14%, 0%, 44%, 22%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #abc76f warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 41 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #C7C36F; nudged cooler, #8AC96D.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #abc76f?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 9.8 away. That is a visible difference, so define #abc76f as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #abc76f in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#abc76f] or text-[#abc76f], 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 #abc76f with 50% opacity?

rgba(171, 199, 111, 0.5), or #abc76f80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #D5E3B7; over black, #566438.

Is #abc76f a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #99CC66, ΔE2000 4.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #abc76f 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 #abc76f?
