Hex color #8ee000 graphic
This high-saturation lime is a punchy, neon-adjacent green that demands attention. Because it is so bright, use #8ee000 sparingly as a 10% accent rather than a dominant background. It pairs surprisingly well with deep charcoal or slate gray to ground its intensity. Black text maintains high readability against this shade, making it a functional choice for high-energy UI buttons or critical alerts.
