#42740B sits at 89° on the color wheel, placing it in the chartreuse family of the neutral half of the spectrum. With 83% saturation and 25% lightness, it reads as a richly saturated, shadowed tone — a weighted, dramatic presence with deep undertones. Its RGB mix of 66, 116, 11 produces a 5.62:1 contrast ratio against white, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #42740B is a clear variant of CSS forest green — about 46 units away from #228B22. Designers reach for chartreuse hues at this saturation when the brief calls for bold, immediate signal, and at this lightness when they want weight, depth, and grounded contrast. On screen the balanced cast tends to pair best with either warm or cool accents depending on the surrounding palette.
