How to use #b7f310

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 #5B7906
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #779F08

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.

At this chroma the association is amplified — it will dominate anything placed beside it, so give it space and use it sparingly. 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.

#b7f310, answered

What color is #b7f310?

#b7f310 is a balanced electric green, closest to Green Yellow (ΔE2000 3.7). It sits at 76° on the hue wheel with 90% saturation and 51% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #b7f310?

rgb(183, 243, 16) — 183 red, 243 green and 16 blue out of 255, or 71.8% / 95.3% / 6.3% by channel.

What is #b7f310 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(76, 90%, 51%) and hsv(76, 93%, 95%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #b7f310 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7421 and perceived brightness is 83%, so black text on it reaches 15.84:1.

Should I use black or white text on #b7f310?

Black. It scores 15.84:1 against #b7f310, versus 1.33:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #b7f310 accessible on a white background?

#b7f310 on white scores 1.33:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #5E7D06 to reach 4.5:1, or #486005 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #b7f310?

#4C10F3 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #1045F3 and #BE10F3, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #b7f310?

For interface work: #F9FAF4 as the surface, #E1EDC0 for borders, #869B4B for secondary text, #0F0BF8 as an accent and #5B7906 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #F3BE10 and #45F310 stays calm, while #4C10F3 is the loudest partner.

What is #b7f310 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(25%, 0%, 93%, 5%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — a color this saturated sits outside most CMYK gamuts and will print duller than it looks here.

Is #b7f310 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 38 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #F3DC10; nudged cooler, #63F50E.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #b7f310?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 10.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #b7f310 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #b7f310 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#b7f310] or text-[#b7f310], 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 #b7f310 with 50% opacity?
