#42A22C sits at 109° on the color wheel, placing it in the green family of the cool half of the spectrum. With 57% saturation and 40% lightness, it reads as a moderately saturated, shadowed tone — a balanced mid-energy presence that sits comfortably alongside other UI tones. Its RGB mix of 66, 162, 44 produces a 6.44:1 contrast ratio against black, which clears WCAG AA for body text in that pairing.
In RGB space #42A22C is a clear variant of CSS forest green — about 41 units away from #228B22. Designers reach for green hues at this saturation when the brief calls for a conversational, mid-energy register, and at this lightness when they want a present, comfortable mid-canvas voice. On screen the cool cast tends to pair best with warm neutrals in the 25°-45° range to add life.
