#94DE62

sRGB · 148 / 222 / 98

#94DE62 belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 148 red, 222 green and 98 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 95.8° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 65.3% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 62.7% 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 (12.88:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #94DE62 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.
