#213b15 is a dark, dusty shade of lime that reads closer to forest shadow than anything bright. Its low saturation and low lightness give it a serious, grounded feel, which suits moody gaming interfaces, sports branding, and nature-themed backgrounds. It works best as a dominant base with white text, which clears WCAG AA at roughly 12.3:1 contrast, and it flatters warm accents like burnt orange more than expected. As an accent on white it can look muddy, so keep it in dark layouts.
