Feijoa
Also known as: Celery Sprig , Gossip , Crystal Green , Stem Green
Feijoa is a soft, lively green that reads as fresh and natural. It earns its place in finance apps and outdoor gear. Reach for a purple companion shade to give Feijoa maximum contrast. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (12.66:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Feijoa works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a 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.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
