#ADEA75 Hex Color
Online color picker to view shades, tints, color codes, and complementary colors
A bright, glowing lime with plenty of lightness and saturation, #adea75 reads fresh and energetic the moment it hits the screen. That vividness works best in small doses: a 10% accent color on buttons, badges, or highlights rather than a full background, where it can overwhelm. It flatters deep navy and charcoal, and black text on this hex code hits about 14.8:1 contrast, well past WCAG AA. Expect to see it on energy drinks, sports branding, and gaming interfaces.
