Color scale — 50 to 950

How to use #a2d063

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 #45621E
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #72A131

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.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #a2d063 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.

#a2d063, answered

What color is #a2d063?

#a2d063 is a balanced vivid green, closest to Yellow Green (ΔE2000 5.1). It sits at 85° on the hue wheel with 54% saturation and 60% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #a2d063?

rgb(162, 208, 99) — 162 red, 208 green and 99 blue out of 255, or 63.5% / 81.6% / 38.8% by channel.

What is #a2d063 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(85, 54%, 60%) and hsv(85, 52%, 82%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #a2d063 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.5369 and perceived brightness is 73%, so black text on it reaches 11.74:1.

Should I use black or white text on #a2d063?

Black. It scores 11.74:1 against #a2d063, versus 1.79:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #a2d063 accessible on a white background?

#a2d063 on white scores 1.79:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #597E26 to reach 4.5:1, or #435F1D for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #a2d063?

#9163D0 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #636CD0 and #C763D0, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #a2d063?

For interface work: #F8FAF4 as the surface, #DAECC0 for borders, #799B4B for secondary text, #735FD4 as an accent and #45621E for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #D0C763 and #6CD063 stays calm, while #9163D0 is the loudest partner.

What is #a2d063 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(22%, 0%, 52%, 18%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #a2d063 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 46 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #CAD063; nudged cooler, #79D261.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #a2d063?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 6.8 away. That is a visible difference, so define #a2d063 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #a2d063 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#a2d063] or text-[#a2d063], 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 #a2d063 with 50% opacity?
