Not a muted sage or a deep forest tone, #9bdd77 is lime at its brightest, a light, sparkling green with a glowing, almost neon edge. Its high saturation suits energy drinks, sports branding, and gaming accents. Black text passes easily on top at about 13.0:1 contrast, so it holds behind body copy. Best used as a bold accent or 10% color, since it can wash out next to white.
