Electra
Also known as: Aruba Green, Blue Green Scene, Expressionism Green, Green Blue
Electra sits on the cool side of the spectrum: a gentle green that feels grounded and restorative. Try it in wellness brands and eco packaging. Set it against a pink accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (8.33:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Electra 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.
