Does black or white text work better on #5ead30?
Black text. It reaches about 7.5:1 contrast, well above the 4.5:1 required for WCAG AA body text. White falls far short, so keep text dark on this shade.
Is #5ead30 a warm or cool green?
Warm. The strong yellow undertone pushes it toward the warm side even though green is usually context-dependent. Next to teal or blue-greens, it reads sunny and bright.
What colors pair well with #5ead30?
Deep plum and charcoal both make this lime feel richer than navy does. For a natural palette, ground it with olive and warm sand tones so the accent stays bold without overwhelming the page.
Is #5ead30 readable on white or black?
#5ead30 has a 2.80:1 contrast ratio on white and 7.49:1 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.
