#BBFE76

sRGB: 187 / 254 / 118

Ancient mountains rise against oblivion
Unbridled forces transcend the boundaries of time
Silver wings find forgotten pathways

#BBFE76 belongs to the yellow-green family. Its hex code tells a screen to mix 187 red, 254 green and 118 blue on a scale of 0 to 255. On the HSL wheel, hue is a position around a circle: 89.6° lands in the yellow-green region. Its 98.6% saturation makes it strong in color at this lightness. HSL lightness is 72.9% 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 (17.55:1), which helps the shapes of letters stand out.

Text contrast

Contrast tells you how clearly lettering separates from #BBFE76 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: 17.55:1

Normal text: AAA
Large text: AAA

White text: 1.20:1

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

#B976FE sits half a turn (180°) from #BBFE76 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.

#BBFE76 #B976FE

Analogous

#FEFD76 and #77FE76 sit 30° to either side of #BBFE76. 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.

#FEFD76 #BBFE76 #77FE76

Triadic

#BBFE76, #76BBFE and #FE76BB are spaced 120° apart, forming a triangle on the wheel. Try one for the main color and the other two for accents.

#BBFE76 #76BBFE #FE76BB

Split complementary

Color vision previews

Compare how #BBFE76 appears in each simulation. When two chart lines or status indicators become hard to tell apart, a label, shape or line pattern gives readers another way to distinguish them. Individual perception varies.

Protanopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from long-wavelength cones, some reds and greens can look alike, and reds can appear darker.

Deuteranopia

A red–green color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from medium-wavelength cones, some greens can be difficult to distinguish from reds or browns.

#FEE97F

Tritanopia

A blue–yellow color vision deficiency. Without a distinct response from short-wavelength cones, blue can resemble green, and yellow can resemble pink.

#BEF5E0

Protanomaly (50%)

An altered long-wavelength cone response can make reds appear dimmer and harder to distinguish from greens. This swatch shows the model’s halfway setting.
