Lime with a grassy edge. #8ebb52 is a fairly saturated green that reads fresh and active, which suits sports branding, energy drinks, and gaming accents. Its mid lightness keeps it grounded rather than glowing, so treat it as a 10 percent accent next to deep charcoal instead of a full background. Black text passes easily on it at about 9.4:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA for body copy.
