Hex color #8fea17 graphic
Reach for #8fea17 when a design needs a jolt: energy drink labels, esports logos, bold call-to-action buttons. This neon lime is so light and saturated it practically glows against dark backgrounds. That brightness comes from a heavy yellow undertone, the kind you get when mixing yellow into green. Skip it next to white, where it washes out, and pair it with charcoal instead. Black text on the hex code #8fea17 reaches about 13.9:1 contrast, so small body text stays readable.
