Hex color #d0f4a4 graphic
Pastel lime, dialed way back. #d0f4a4 is a light, luminous green with a soft yellow undertone, gentle enough for spring packaging and baby products without turning syrupy. Because it sits so high on the lightness scale, black text on top reaches about 17.2:1 contrast, well past the 4.5:1 AA bar. It earns its keep as a full background, and looks sharper against deep olive or navy than against plain white.
