Ferntastic
Also known as: Dull Green, Arugula, Alfalfa Bug, Techno Green
Quietly grounded and restorative, Ferntastic is a cool-toned green that earns its keep in eco packaging and finance apps. Set it against a purple accent when you want the combination to pop. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.70:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Ferntastic works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation — a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
- 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.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
