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 #d0fcb3

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 #347B05
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #47A907

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 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.

#d0fcb3, answered

What color is #d0fcb3?

#d0fcb3 is a light electric green, closest to Pale Green (ΔE2000 8.1). It sits at 96° on the hue wheel with 92% saturation and 85% lightness, which reads as neutral.

What is the RGB value of #d0fcb3?

rgb(208, 252, 179) — 208 red, 252 green and 179 blue out of 255, or 81.6% / 98.8% / 70.2% by channel.

What is #d0fcb3 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(96, 92%, 85%) and hsv(96, 29%, 99%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d0fcb3 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.8629 and perceived brightness is 91%, so black text on it reaches 18.26:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d0fcb3?

Black. It scores 18.26:1 against #d0fcb3, versus 1.15:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d0fcb3 accessible on a white background?

#d0fcb3 on white scores 1.15:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #398705 to reach 4.5:1, or #2A6504 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d0fcb3?

#DFB3FC sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #BBB3FC and #FCB3F4, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d0fcb3?

For interface work: #F7FAF4 as the surface, #D2EDC0 for borders, #6A9B4B for secondary text, #4803C9 as an accent and #347B05 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #F4FCB3 and #B3FCBB stays calm, while #DFB3FC is the loudest partner.

What is #d0fcb3 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(18%, 0%, 29%, 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 #d0fcb3 warm or cool?

Neutral — it scores 53 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EBFCB3; nudged cooler, #B4FDB2.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d0fcb3?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 17.8 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d0fcb3 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d0fcb3 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d0fcb3] or text-[#d0fcb3], 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 #d0fcb3 with 50% opacity?

rgba(208, 252, 179, 0.5), or #d0fcb380 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E8FED9; over black, #687E5A.

Is #d0fcb3 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCFFCC, ΔE2000 5.4 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #d0fcb3 mean?
