#6ab24c is a bright, saturated lime with a strong yellow undertone that demands immediate attention. This high-energy shade works best as an accent rather than a full background, where its intensity can overwhelm a design. It pairs well with deep charcoal grays for a modern, high-contrast look. Because black text remains legible against this hex code, it functions reliably for bold calls to action.

Is #6ab24c suitable for text on a white background?

Is #6ab24c readable on white or black?
#6ab24c has a 2.59:1 contrast ratio on white and 8.08:1 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.
