#7AEC00

sRGB: 122 / 236 / 0

Wandering spirits flourish beyond boundaries
Immortal legends thunder through timeless canyons
Lost whispers vanish without farewell

#7AEC00 belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 122 red, 236 green and 0 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 89.0° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 46.3% on a scale from black (0%) to white (100%). Of black and white lettering, black has the clearer light-to-dark separation on this background (13.83:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #7AEC00 in light and dark. The ratio compares relative luminance, a measure of light weighted for human vision. Identical colors give 1:1 and black against white gives 21:1. A ratio of 2.99:1 falls just below the 3:1 AA minimum for large text. Body text needs at least 4.5:1 because its finer strokes are harder to distinguish.

Black text: 13.83:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.52:1

Normal text: Fail
Large text: Fail

AA and AAA are WCAG accessibility levels. AAA sets a higher bar: 7:1 for normal text and 4.5:1 for large text. Large text begins at 18 pt regular or 14 pt bold. Ratings use the unrounded ratio.

Palettes & scales

Harmonies rotate the hue. Scales mix the starting color with white, black or middle gray in 20% steps in encoded sRGB.

Complementary

#7200EC sits half a turn (180°) from #7AEC00 on the HSL wheel. Keeping saturation and lightness steady while crossing to the opposite hue gives you a contrasting accent. Check text contrast separately before using the pair for lettering.

#7AEC00 #7200EC

Analogous

#ECE800 and #04EC00 sit 30° to either side of #7AEC00. The three hues are neighbors on the wheel, so you can change the color of a border or highlight while keeping it close to the original.

#ECE800 #7AEC00 #04EC00

Triadic

#7AEC00, #007AEC and #EC007A are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#7AEC00 #007AEC #EC007A

Split complementary

Start at #7AEC00 and look across the wheel. #0004EC and #E800EC sit 30° to either side of its exact opposite, giving you two different accent choices.

#7AEC00 #0004EC #E800EC

Square

Starting with #7AEC00, each quarter turn (90°) takes you to the next hue: #00ECE8, #7200EC, then #EC0004. Across the square, #7AEC00 pairs with #7200EC, and #00ECE8 with #EC0004.

#7AEC00 #00ECE8 #7200EC #EC0004

Tetradic

#7AEC00 and #7200EC are opposites, as are #00EC72 and #EC007A. Together they form a rectangle on the wheel, with alternating gaps of 60° and 120°.
