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 #e0fddf

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 #0B7808
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #10A90B

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 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.

  • Weight7/100

Colour associations are cultural and vary by market. Treat these as a starting point for a conversation with your audience, not a finding about them.

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.

#e0fddf, answered

What color is #e0fddf?

#e0fddf is a pale electric green, closest to Honey Dew (ΔE2000 6.7). It sits at 118° on the hue wheel with 88% saturation and 93% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #e0fddf?

rgb(224, 253, 223) — 224 red, 253 green and 223 blue out of 255, or 87.8% / 99.2% / 87.5% by channel.

What is #e0fddf in HSL and HSV?

hsl(118, 88%, 93%) and hsv(118, 12%, 99%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #e0fddf a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.9143 and perceived brightness is 95%, so black text on it reaches 19.29:1.

Should I use black or white text on #e0fddf?

Black. It scores 19.29:1 against #e0fddf, versus 1.09:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #e0fddf accessible on a white background?

#e0fddf on white scores 1.09:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #0D8809 to reach 4.5:1, or #0A6606 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #e0fddf?

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

What colors go well with #e0fddf?

For interface work: #F4FAF4 as the surface, #C1EDC0 for borders, #4D9B4B for secondary text, #9006C6 as an accent and #0B7808 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EFFDDF and #DFFDED stays calm, while #FCDFFD is the loudest partner.

What is #e0fddf in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(12%, 0%, 12%, 1%). 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 #e0fddf warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 62 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EBFDDF; nudged cooler, #DFFDE9.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #e0fddf?

The green family — its 500 step is #22c55e, ΔE2000 25.2 away. That is a visible difference, so define #e0fddf as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #e0fddf in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#e0fddf] or text-[#e0fddf], 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 #e0fddf with 50% opacity?

rgba(224, 253, 223, 0.5), or #e0fddf80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F0FEEF; over black, #707F70.

Is #e0fddf a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCFFCC, ΔE2000 6.6 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #e0fddf 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 #e0fddf?
