Use #78b65a primarily as a graphic accent rather than for body text. While it offers a strong 8.6:1 contrast ratio against pure black, its high saturation can cause eye fatigue in large blocks, making it better suited for highlights and buttons.
What colors pair well with #78b65a?

#78b65a has a 2.43:1 contrast ratio on white and 8.63:1 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.
