Lightness & Saturation Breakdown

How each color in Spring Meadow compares by lightness and saturation — useful for picking which tone to use as a background versus a text color.

How to Use the Spring Meadow Color Palette

Perfect for eco brands, fresh food packaging, spring promotions, outdoor brands, and nature-themed content.

Seasonal palettes like this one work best when a single tone visibly dominates the composition, echoing the time of year it represents. Apply the 60-30-10 rule: use #86EFAC for 60% of your design, #4ADE80 for 30%, and reserve #BEF264 for the remaining 10% on calls-to-action and key highlights.

Drop these values in directly as CSS custom properties:

:root {
  --spring-meadow-primary: #86EFAC;
  --spring-meadow-secondary: #4ADE80;
  --spring-meadow-accent: #BEF264;
  --spring-meadow-background: #FDE047;
  --spring-meadow-highlight: #FDA4AF;
}

The Spring Meadow palette's lightest tone, #BEF264, pairs best with dark text on top, while its darkest tone, #FDA4AF, needs light or white text to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1. Check any text/background combination from this palette with a contrast checker before shipping.
