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 #d5f4cf

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 #256818
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #3BA826

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 high lightness makes it recede — a surface colour rather than a statement.

Worth knowing

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

#d5f4cf, answered

What color is #d5f4cf?

#d5f4cf is a pale vivid green, closest to Honey Dew (ΔE2000 9). It sits at 110° on the hue wheel with 63% saturation and 88% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #d5f4cf?

rgb(213, 244, 207) — 213 red, 244 green and 207 blue out of 255, or 83.5% / 95.7% / 81.2% by channel.

What is #d5f4cf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(110, 63%, 88%) and hsv(110, 15%, 96%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d5f4cf a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.8335 and perceived brightness is 91%, so black text on it reaches 17.67:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d5f4cf?

Black. It scores 17.67:1 against #d5f4cf, versus 1.19:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d5f4cf accessible on a white background?

#d5f4cf on white scores 1.19:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #30861F to reach 4.5:1, or #246517 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d5f4cf?

#EECFF4 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #DBCFF4 and #F4CFE7, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d5f4cf?

For interface work: #F5FAF4 as the surface, #C7EDC0 for borders, #589B4B for secondary text, #7223A9 as an accent and #256818 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #E7F4CF and #CFF4DB stays calm, while #EECFF4 is the loudest partner.

What is #d5f4cf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(13%, 0%, 15%, 4%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d5f4cf warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 58 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #E2F4CF; nudged cooler, #CEF5D6.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d5f4cf?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 22.8 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d5f4cf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d5f4cf in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d5f4cf] or text-[#d5f4cf], 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 #d5f4cf with 50% opacity?

rgba(213, 244, 207, 0.5), or #d5f4cf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #EAFAE7; over black, #6B7A68.

Is #d5f4cf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCFFCC, ΔE2000 5 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #d5f4cf mean?
