Not a pastel and nothing close to sage, #358e00 is a loud, saturated green that pulls straight from a summer lawn. Its high saturation makes it best as a 10 percent accent: buttons, highlights, eco and finance branding. Full backgrounds tire the eye fast. Black text clears AA on it at about 5.0:1, and it looks sharper against deep plum than safe cream.

Can white text sit on #358e00?
