Colors That Pair Well With Lime Voltage
Need a fifth color? These three companions are computed from the palette's own hue positions on the color wheel, so they extend the scheme without breaking its harmony.
directly opposite #00FF9C on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #00FF9C — a calm secondary that extends the palette without adding tension
a ink-black carrying the palette's own hue — perfect for surfaces and dividers
Using Lime Voltage Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #00FF9C for small UI elements on #C6FF00 — at 1.1:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Set body text in #0A0F08 — 16.3:1 against #C6FF00 passes WCAG AA (AAA) for long-form reading.
- Don't use #39FF6A behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
