Spring campaigns and baby product packaging are natural homes for this pale lime. #9ed284 is a light, faded green with a soft yellow cast, mild enough to cover large areas without shouting. Because it sits high on the lightness scale, black text on top reads at about 12.0:1, well past the 4.5:1 WCAG AA bar, so it makes a dependable UI background. Pair it with navy or charcoal rather than white, which can wash it out.
