Hex color #31e0b9 graphic
This neon mint is bright, cool, and highly saturated. Because #31e0b9 commands so much attention, it performs best as an accent color rather than a large-scale background. It pairs exceptionally well with charcoal gray or dark navy for a modern, high-contrast UI element. Black text remains readable against this hue, making it a reliable choice for buttons or notification badges in tech-focused designs.

What colors pair best with #31e0b9?

Is #31e0b9 a good choice for text?
Using #31e0b9 as text is generally discouraged for accessibility because it lacks sufficient contrast against white or light backgrounds. It performs much better as an interactive element, such as a button background or a notification badge, where it can be paired with high-contrast black or dark gray text.
Is #31e0b9 readable on white or black?
#31e0b9 has a 1.68:1 contrast ratio on white and 12.49:1 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.
