How to use them
Use one vivid shade as the accent and keep the rest of the page in neutrals or muted shades, so the accent stays an event rather than the wallpaper.
Standouts in this group

- Lightest: Volt (#CEFF00), at 93% lightness.
- Most saturated: Green (#00FF00).

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 vivid, highly saturated shades the figures are different: 6 of 59 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.
