Colors That Pair Well With Night Vision Green
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 #0E2E1E on the wheel — the strongest accent for CTAs and highlights when you need maximum energy
30° beside #0E2E1E — a calm secondary that extends the palette without adding tension
a paper-white carrying the palette's own hue — perfect for surfaces and dividers
Using Night Vision Green Without Breaking Accessibility
- Avoid #0E2E1E for small UI elements on #2E5E3E — at 2.0:1 it misses the 3:1 WCAG threshold; darken it with a shade from the ramp below.
- Don't set body copy in #061208 on #2E5E3E — 2.5:1 fails WCAG AA; keep it for large decorative headings only.
- Don't use #7EE85E behind body text — this light tone works better for surfaces, badges and dividers than for reading areas.
