Not a soft sage or a deep forest tone, #78b754 is a bright lime green with a yellow undertone and plenty of punch. That energy suits sports branding, gaming, and energy drinks. Black text passes contrast on it easily, so it works well as a button or accent color. At full-page scale it can overwhelm, so ground it with charcoal or navy.
