Celadon
Also known as: Vers de Terre, Frozen Moss Green, Big Spender, Celtic Spring
With its cool undertone, Celadon (#ACE1AF) comes across as calm and balanced. Designers reach for it in eco packaging and finance apps. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a pink keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 14.14:1 on black clears AA.

Where Celadon works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
- Branding: A brand green signals freshness; deepen it for finance, brighten it for eco-consumer products.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
