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 #beead2

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 #1F603D
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #36A669

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 lightness keeps it airy and approachable.

Worth knowing

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

Transparency

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.

#beead2, answered

What color is #beead2?

#beead2 is a light vivid green, closest to Pale Turquoise (ΔE2000 9.7). It sits at 147° on the hue wheel with 51% saturation and 83% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #beead2?

rgb(190, 234, 210) — 190 red, 234 green and 210 blue out of 255, or 74.5% / 91.8% / 82.4% by channel.

What is #beead2 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(147, 51%, 83%) and hsv(147, 19%, 92%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #beead2 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7445 and perceived brightness is 86%, so black text on it reaches 15.89:1.

Should I use black or white text on #beead2?

Black. It scores 15.89:1 against #beead2, versus 1.32:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #beead2 accessible on a white background?

#beead2 on white scores 1.32:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #2A8353 to reach 4.5:1, or #20653F for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #beead2?

#EABED6 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #E8BEEA and #EABEC0, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #beead2?

For interface work: #F4FAF7 as the surface, #C1EBD4 for borders, #4B9B6F for secondary text, #9F2D87 as an accent and #1F603D for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #C0EABE and #BEEAE8 stays calm, while #EABED6 is the loudest partner.

What is #beead2 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(19%, 0%, 10%, 8%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #beead2 warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 74 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #BEEAC2; nudged cooler, #BDEBE3.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #beead2?

The teal family — its 500 step is #14b8a6, ΔE2000 19.5 away. That is a visible difference, so define #beead2 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #beead2 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#beead2] or text-[#beead2], 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 #beead2 with 50% opacity?

rgba(190, 234, 210, 0.5), or #beead280 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #DFF5E9; over black, #5F7569.

Is #beead2 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCFFCC, ΔE2000 8.2 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #beead2 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 #beead2?

The safest is same-hue elevation: linear-gradient(135deg, #ECF9F2, #beead2 45%, #1F603D). For more colour, a short hue run to #A7D6E3 keeps it rich without turning muddy.
