Foliage
Also known as: Mistletoe Kiss, Easygoing Green, Fair Green, Pear Cactus
With its cool undertone, Foliage (#95B388) comes across as calm and balanced. Designers reach for it in outdoor gear and wellness brands. Match it with purple accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (9.08:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Foliage 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: 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.
- 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.
