#A3E88B Hex Color
Fresh Lime With a Neon Kick
Far from a deep forest tone, #a3e88b is a bright, glowing lime green. Its high lightness and yellow undertone read fresh and lively, a fit for eco branding, sports, and energy drinks. Use it as an accent on dark backgrounds; next to white it washes out. Black text passes comfortably on top at 14.5:1 contrast. Soften the neon edge by mixing gray into it for a muted sage.
