#97FF89

sRGB · 151 / 255 / 137

#97FF89 belongs to the green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 151 red, 255 green and 137 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 112.9° lands in the green region. Its 100.0% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 76.9% 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 (16.98:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #97FF89 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 · 16.98:1

Normal text: AAA
