#32CD32Limegreen is a rich, strongly saturated, mid-toned cool green (#32CD32).
At hue 120° with 61% saturation, limegreen lands firmly in the green family — a cool color through and through. Colors in this range are commonly associated with growth, nature and reassurance, which makes limegreen a natural fit for success states, environmental themes and finance products.
Limegreen is bright enough that it pairs better with dark text than white: black type on limegreen hits 9.91:1 — comfortably past the WCAG AA threshold — while white manages only 2.12:1. It shines as a section background, card fill or subtle highlight where a full-strength accent would shout.
For pairings, the complement of limegreen sits at 300° — #CD32CD, close to mediumorchid — and delivers the strongest possible hue contrast; use it sparingly, in roughly a 90/10 split, so the two don't fight. For calmer schemes, the analogous colors 30° to either side keep the same cool temperature, while the triadic pair gives you a balanced three-color palette. All of these are computed for limegreen in the palettes below, with copy-ready codes.
Every palette below is computed from limegreen's position on the color wheel (hue 120°). Hover any swatch to see its code; click to copy.
Tints mix limegreen toward white; shades mix it toward black. Use the scale for hover states, borders and depth without leaving the hue.
WCAG 2.1 requires 4.5:1 for normal text (AA) and 3:1 for large text. Here's how limegreen performs, plus how it appears under the three main types of dichromatic color blindness (simulated approximation).
| Pairing | Ratio | Normal text | Large text |
|---|---|---|---|
| White text on Limegreen | 2.12:1 | Fail | Fail |
| Black text on Limegreen | 9.91:1 | AAA | AAA |
