What colors pair well with #71e637?
Deep plum and charcoal ground this loud lime best, since its complementary purple (#e63771) echoes its intensity without competing. Try #71e637 as the 10% accent against dark neutral surfaces. A muted sage also tempers it nicely in eco-themed palettes.
Is #71e637 readable on white or black?
#71e637 has a 1.60:1 contrast ratio on white and 13.07:1 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.
