How to use #d7f9df

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 #116F27
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #19A93B

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 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.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #d7f9df 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.

#d7f9df, answered

What color is #d7f9df?

#d7f9df is a pale vivid green, closest to Honey Dew (ΔE2000 7.1). It sits at 134° on the hue wheel with 74% saturation and 91% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #d7f9df?

rgb(215, 249, 223) — 215 red, 249 green and 223 blue out of 255, or 84.3% / 97.6% / 87.5% by channel.

What is #d7f9df in HSL and HSV?

hsl(134, 74%, 91%) and hsv(134, 14%, 98%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #d7f9df a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.8753 and perceived brightness is 93%, so black text on it reaches 18.51:1.

Should I use black or white text on #d7f9df?

Black. It scores 18.51:1 against #d7f9df, versus 1.13:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #d7f9df accessible on a white background?

#d7f9df on white scores 1.13:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #158930 to reach 4.5:1, or #0F6624 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #d7f9df?

#F9D7F1 sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #F0D7F9 and #F9D7E0, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #d7f9df?

For interface work: #F4FAF6 as the surface, #C0EDCA for borders, #4B9B5D for secondary text, #B116B6 as an accent and #116F27 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #E0F9D7 and #D7F9F0 stays calm, while #F9D7F1 is the loudest partner.

What is #d7f9df in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(14%, 0%, 10%, 2%). This is a screen-to-ink approximation — ask your printer for a proof before committing to a run.

Is #d7f9df warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 68 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #DCF9D7; nudged cooler, #D7F9EC.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #d7f9df?

The teal family — its 500 step is #14b8a6, ΔE2000 23.7 away. That is a visible difference, so define #d7f9df as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #d7f9df in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#d7f9df] or text-[#d7f9df], 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 #d7f9df with 50% opacity?

rgba(215, 249, 223, 0.5), or #d7f9df80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #EBFCEF; over black, #6C7D70.

Is #d7f9df a web-safe color?
