Hex color #cefc50 graphic
This luminous neon lime packs significant visual intensity and sits on the high end of the brightness scale. Because of its extreme saturation, #cefc50 works best as an accent color to inject energy into sports or gaming branding rather than as a large background. It pairs cleanly with deep charcoal grays for high-contrast accessibility, as black text remains sharp and readable against this bright, yellow-green base.
