Cypress
Also known as: Tank, Base Camp, Lovers Pine, Tree of Life
As a rich take on green, Cypress carries fresh and natural energy that suits finance apps and outdoor gear. A purple counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. On white it reads clearly at 6.87:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Cypress works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Reads as growth and sustainability — at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Fashion: Wears best as the statement piece — a top, scarf, or shoes — against neutral basics.
