How can I effectively use #00ff11 in a design layout?
Use #00ff11 exclusively as a high-contrast accent or a small UI pop rather than a background. Because of its extreme vibrancy, it works best when paired with deep, neutral tones like charcoal to ensure the text remains legible and the color does not overwhelm the user.
Why is #00ff11 difficult to use for body text?

Is So Sour readable on white or black?
So Sour has a 1.37:1 contrast ratio on white and 15.31:1 on black. WCAG asks for 4.5:1 for body text and 3:1 for large text, so on white it is too faint for text and on black it works for body text. Try other pairs in the contrast checker.
