Where does #1ed882 work best in a design?
Use #1ed882 as a 10 percent accent: buttons, status badges, success states, or sustainability branding. At full background scale its intensity tires the eye, so temper it with charcoal or deep plum surfaces.
Is #1ed882 readable on white or black?
#1ed882 has a 1.87:1 contrast ratio on white and 11.19:1 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.
