Notes
Light Green is a pale, slightly yellow-leaning green that reads as fresh and friendly. The CSS hex is lighter than Pale Green and works as a primary surface for wellness, food, and outdoor brands. Pair with deep green for type, with cream for a softer palette, or with terracotta for an unexpected warmth. Against white it provides reasonable separation; against pure green it loses distinction quickly. As a UI accent it works for success states with dark text overlays. Body text contrast against white fails AA at every size - surface use only.
