What the numbers say
Across all 204 green shades in the library, lightness runs from 15% to 96%. 76 of them reach 4.5 to 1 on white, so they can be used as text on a light page, and 121 reach 4.5 to 1 on near-black, so they can be used as text on a dark page. The rest are for fills, surfaces and large type, where the requirement is lower. Within the muted, softly saturated shades the figures are different: 28 of 58 pass on white.
Pairing with other families
The base green (#2E9E5B) separates best from beige (2.42:1), brown (2.15:1) and yellow (2.07:1). Because green stands for nature, growth and renewal, those pairings carry the most contrast of both color and meaning.
