#98ff84 is an electric, high-chroma green that demands attention. Because it glows with such intensity, use it sparingly as a 10% accent rather than a dominant background. It pairs best with charcoal or deep navy for high-contrast, modern UI elements. While its saturation implies organic energy, avoid using it for large blocks of text, as its extreme brightness can quickly cause eye strain.
