#9fd61e is a high-energy, acidic lime with significant yellow undertones that demands attention. Because it is so saturated, it performs best as an accent color rather than a large-scale background. Use it for UI elements like buttons or notification badges to drive engagement. If you need other shades of yellow with less neon intensity, look elsewhere. Black text remains readable against this hex code.

Can #9fd61e be used for body text in a web design?

Is #9fd61e readable on white or black?
#9fd61e has a 1.73:1 contrast ratio on white and 12.11:1 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.
