Does black text work well on #9def7a?

What colors pair well with #9def7a in a design?
Pair #9def7a with charcoal or deep navy to contain its high brightness, while terracotta adds a warm counterpoint without competing with the shade’s yellow-green undertone, especially in sports graphics, gaming interfaces, and energetic packaging. Use it as an accent against dark neutrals rather than surrounding it with equally bright hues.
Does #9def7a read as warm or cool?
#9def7a reads slightly warm for a green because its yellow component is prominent, while its high lightness and saturation create a crisp, energetic appearance that can feel more neon than natural in digital palettes. Dark blue-green backgrounds make that warmth more apparent.
Is #9def7a readable on white or black?
#9def7a has a 1.39:1 contrast ratio on white and 15.06:1 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.
