#94DE6E

sRGB · 148 / 222 / 110

#94DE6E belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 148 red, 222 green and 110 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 99.6° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 62.9% saturation makes it partway between gray and the most vivid version of this hue at this lightness. HSL lightness is 65.1% 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 (12.93:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #94DE6E 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.
