Not a calm forest tone. #72ee57 is a bright, neon-leaning green with high saturation and lightness, so it reads fresh and glowing even in small doses. Treat it as an accent on buttons, badges, or eco branding, not a full background, where it can glare. Black text on it reaches about 14.1:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. If it feels too loud, soften it toward gray for a muted partner.
