Color harmonies
Rotating the hue in OKLCH while keeping lightness and chroma, green-950's complementary color is #371833 (close to midnightblue), its analogous colors are #202A00 and #002F28, and its triadic partners are #1B2245 and #3F170F. For text on top, white gives the higher contrast.
| Harmony | Rotation | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Complementary | +180° | #371833 |
| Analogous | −30°, +30° | #202a00#002f28 |
| Triadic | +120°, +240° | #1b2245#3f170f |
| Split-complementary | +150°, +210° | #2c1c3f#3e1622 |
Computed in OKLCH: the hue is rotated by 180° (complementary), ±30° (analogous), ±120° (triadic) and 180° ±30° (split-complementary) while lightness and chroma stay fixed. Results that fall outside sRGB are brought back with the CSS Color 4 gamut mapping algorithm. Because this uses OKLCH, the values differ from tools that rotate hue in HSL, but every color keeps the same perceived lightness.
Warm or cool?
Tailwind green-950 is a cool color: its hue is 145° on the HSL wheel, in the green, blue and violet range that is conventionally called cool.
