#B5CC8C Hex Color
Soft pastel lime with gentle energy
Like new leaves dusted with frost, this pale lime green reads soft and faded rather than bright. Its high lightness and low saturation give it an airy mood, and it flatters muted neutrals like what colors make gray or warm charcoal. Use #b5cc8c as a supporting tone in a 60/30/10 layout. The hex code also holds up behind black text at roughly 12:1 contrast.
