About lime-950

Read as numbers, lime-950 is lightness 27.4%, chroma 0.072 and hue 132.1 degrees; read by eye, it is a vivid very dark yellow-green. It closes the lime scale as its darkest shade, 13.1 points of lightness below lime-900.

HSL puts its lightness at 10% and OKLCH at 27.4%, 18 points apart: HSL's lightness does not follow what the eye sees, OKLCH's is built to. No gamut mapping is needed here: oklch(27.4% 0.072 132.109) sits inside sRGB and #192e03 matches it.

White on lime-950 reads at 14.65:1, enough for AAA body text; black reaches 1.43:1 and should stay off it. White text passes on every lime shade from lime-700 down, so lime-950 is 3 shades past the line.
