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.

Color scale — 50 to 950

How to use #e1fddb

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 #1B7907
Safe as a 1px border on white
No — use #26AC0A

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 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.

  • FormalityLow
  • EnergyHigh
  • Weight8/100

Colour associations are cultural and vary by market. Treat these as a starting point for a conversation with your audience, not a finding about them.

Transparency

What each alpha value actually composites to. The top row is #e1fddb 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.

#e1fddb, answered

What color is #e1fddb?

#e1fddb is a pale electric green, closest to Honey Dew (ΔE2000 7.3). It sits at 109° on the hue wheel with 90% saturation and 93% lightness, which reads as cool.

What is the RGB value of #e1fddb?

rgb(225, 253, 219) — 225 red, 253 green and 219 blue out of 255, or 88.2% / 99.2% / 85.9% by channel.

What is #e1fddb in HSL and HSV?

hsl(109, 90%, 93%) and hsv(109, 13%, 99%). HSL is what CSS takes; HSV is what your design tool's picker shows, which is why the saturation numbers rarely match.

Is #e1fddb a light or a dark color?

It is a light color. Relative luminance is 0.9137 and perceived brightness is 95%, so black text on it reaches 19.27:1.

Should I use black or white text on #e1fddb?

Black. It scores 19.27:1 against #e1fddb, versus 1.09:1 for white — AAA at any size.

Is #e1fddb accessible on a white background?

#e1fddb on white scores 1.09:1, which fails WCAG AA at every size. Darken it to #1E8507 to reach 4.5:1, or #166305 for 7:1.

What is the complementary color of #e1fddb?

#F7DBFD sits directly opposite on the wheel. Softer options are the split-complements #E6DBFD and #FDDBF2, which give the same contrast with far less vibration.

What colors go well with #e1fddb?

For interface work: #F5FAF4 as the surface, #C8EDC0 for borders, #599B4B for secondary text, #7105C7 as an accent and #1B7907 for hover and pressed states. For a palette, the analogous pair #F2FDDB and #DBFDE6 stays calm, while #F7DBFD is the loudest partner.

What is #e1fddb in CMYK for printing?

cmyk(11%, 0%, 13%, 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 #e1fddb warm or cool?

Cool — it scores 58 on a scale where 0 is the warmest orange and 100 the coolest azure. Nudged warmer it becomes #EDFDDB; nudged cooler, #DAFDE1.

Which Tailwind color is closest to #e1fddb?

The lime family — its 500 step is #84cc16, ΔE2000 24.6 away. That is a visible difference, so define #e1fddb as a custom token rather than reaching for the built-in.

How do I use #e1fddb in Tailwind CSS?

Inline it as an arbitrary value with bg-[#e1fddb] or text-[#e1fddb], 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 #e1fddb with 50% opacity?

rgba(225, 253, 219, 0.5), or #e1fddb80 in eight-digit hex. Over white that composites to #F0FEED; over black, #717F6E.

Is #e1fddb a web-safe color?

No. The nearest web-safe colour is #CCFFCC, ΔE2000 5.9 away. The palette only matters for legacy displays and some email clients now.

What does the color #e1fddb 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 #e1fddb?
