#7DC708

sRGB · 125 / 199 / 8

#7DC708 belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 125 red, 199 green and 8 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 83.2° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 92.3% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 40.6% 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 (10.04:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #7DC708 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 · 10.04:1

Normal text: AAA
