Eleven shades, from lime-50 to lime-950

Tailwind lime colors

Tailwind CSS 4.3.3 defines eleven lime shades in OKLCH, from lime-50 (#f7fee7) to lime-950 (#192e03). On them white text passes WCAG AA from lime-700 to lime-950, and black text from lime-50 to lime-600. Recolor (recolor.page) shows the scale on a real page.

Text on lime, and lime as text

As a text color the rule turns around: lime text on a white page passes AA from lime-700 on, and on a black page up to lime-600, since a contrast ratio is the same whichever color is in front.

Chroma peaks at lime-400 (0.238) and falls toward both ends, while the hue drifts 11.4 degrees across the scale.

5 of the eleven lie outside sRGB, so their hex codes are the nearest sRGB colors, and a wide-gamut screen shows them stronger.
