Does #90b700 pair well with dark text?
This shade provides excellent readability when paired with deep charcoal or near-black text. While it is too bright to serve as a background for light text, its chartreuse intensity creates a sharp, accessible contrast against dark, neutral tones in modern interfaces.

#90b700 has a 2.34:1 contrast ratio on white and 8.95:1 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.
