Not the sharp lime of energy drinks, #c8ef99 is a pale, milky green with a soft yellow undertone. That high lightness makes it a natural fit for spring layouts and baby products, and black text sits at about 16.3:1 contrast, so body copy reads cleanly on top. Pair it with deep plum or charcoal to keep it from washing out next to white.
