Ambrosia
Also known as: Limestone Slate, Rockwood Jade, Satin Green, Galway
Ambrosia is a pale, gentle green that reads as calm and balanced. It shines in eco packaging and finance apps. Its complement lands in purple territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (14.90:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Ambrosia works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
- Branding: Reads as growth and sustainability — at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
