Fresh lime with real punch. #b5dd5d is light and highly saturated, so it glows as an accent on dark interfaces and works well for energy drinks, sports, and gaming brands. Keep it out of large background areas, where it can strain the eyes. Pair it with charcoal or deep navy for balance, and use black text on top since that combination reaches about 13.5:1 contrast.
