Close to fresh-cut grass with a shot of neon, #72b24a is a lime green that sits mid-light and strongly saturated. That high chroma makes it loud, so it earns its keep as a call-to-action button or small accent rather than a full background. Ground it with charcoal or navy, and set black text on top since contrast runs high.
