Far from the sharp electric lime its family suggests, #c3eab4 is a pale, powdery green with a soft yellow undertone. Its low saturation keeps things gentle, which suits spring themes, baby products, and airy minimal layouts. It can wash out beside pure white, so anchor it with dark text. Black type on this hex code reaches about 15.7:1 contrast, easily clearing WCAG AA.
