How to use #d2eb94

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 #526B14
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #7A9F1E

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.

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.

#d2eb94, answered

What color is #d2eb94?

#d2eb94 is a light vivid green, closest to Pale Goldenrod (ΔE2000 8.5). It sits at 77° on the hue wheel with 69% saturation and 75% lightness, which reads as warm.

What is the RGB value of #d2eb94?

rgb(210, 235, 148) — 210 red, 235 green and 148 blue out of 255, or 82.4% / 92.2% / 58% by channel.

What is #d2eb94 in HSL and HSV?

hsl(77, 69%, 75%) and hsv(77, 37%, 92%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d2eb94 a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.7526 and perceived brightness is 86%, so black text on it reaches 16.05:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d2eb94?

Black. It scores 16.05:1 against #d2eb94, versus 1.31:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d2eb94 accessible on a white background?

#d2eb94 on white scores 1.31:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #607D17 to reach 4.5:1, or #495F12 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d2eb94?

#AD94EB sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #94A7EB and #D894EB, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d2eb94?

For interface work: #F9FAF4 as the surface, #E0EDC0 for borders, #849B4B for secondary text, #221BB1 as an accent and #526B14 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #EBD894 and #A7EB94 stays calm, while #AD94EB is the loudest partner.

What is #d2eb94 in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(11%, 0%, 37%, 8%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d2eb94 warm or cool?

Warm — it scores 39 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EBE494; nudged cooler, #B2EC93.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d2eb94?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 14.4 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d2eb94 as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d2eb94 in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d2eb94] or text-[#d2eb94], 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 #d2eb94 with 50% opacity?

rgba(210, 235, 148, 0.5), or #d2eb9480 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #E9F5CA; over black, #69764A.

Is #d2eb94 a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCFF99, ΔE2000 5.7 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.
