Nyanza sits in the green family, with the hex code #E9FFDB mapping to rgb(233, 255, 219) in RGB and hsl(96.7, 100%, 92.9%) in HSL. In OKLCH it carries 97% perceptual lightness and 0.052 chroma — a desaturated, light reading that behaves well as a background, surface or supporting tone in modern interfaces. Green is the hue the human eye is best adapted to discriminate — half of the cone photoreceptors peak inside the green band. Brands use it to signal nature, growth, money, safety and "go", with cooler greens reading as trustworthy and warmer greens as energetic.

Green and red are the two hues most affected by colour-vision deficiency. Never communicate state with green alone — pair every "success green" with an icon, label or shape.
