#A9D64B Hex Color
Sparkling Lime, Glowing With Energy
Reach for #a9d64b when a project needs instant energy: sports branding, energy drinks, gaming interfaces. This bright lime gets its sparkle from high saturation and a light, yellow-leaning base. It works best as an accent at roughly 10 percent of a palette, since full backgrounds can overwhelm. Black text on it reaches about 12.4:1 contrast, so small type stays readable. Pair it with deep plum or warm charcoal to keep it from tipping into harsh, or soften a scheme with mixed gray tones.
