About Spring Bud

Spring bud, #a7fc00, is yellow-green at maximum brightness — the electric chartreuse-lime of new buds breaking. It is the loudest possible "new growth," a color that reads as pure kinetic freshness.

History

Spring bud is a color-position name (the bright point between yellow and green) rather than a pigment; it rides the same high-visibility territory as chartreuse and Nike Volt, standing for newness and energy.

Psychology

Spring bud reads energetic, fresh and alive — new growth at full voltage. It signals renewal and go with maximum brightness.

In design

Spring bud is a high-visibility accent: electric on charcoal and violet, unusable as text (1.2:1). Pair with dark neutrals for glow, magenta for club energy. Sports, energy and fresh-active brands use its charge sparingly.

In culture

The first buds of spring, hi-vis fresh, the electric green of "new": renewal turned up to maximum.
