Lawn Green color meaning
Lawn Green is a bold and energetic green — a cool color at 49% lightness and 100% saturation. Like other greens, it is linked with nature, growth and balance. It is the color the eye finds most restful, which is why it signals health, freshness and "go".
Because it is bold and energetic, lawn green works best for logos, buttons, highlights, sports kit and anything that should grab attention. As text on white it would be too faint (1.3:1), so use it for fills and backgrounds and put black text on top (15.8:1).
