Forestry
Also known as: Ceylanite, Hinterlands Green, Myrtle, Nettle Green
Forestry is a deep, gentle green that reads as grounded and restorative. It shines in eco packaging and finance apps. A purple counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. On white it reads clearly at 10.67:1 contrast — safe for body text under WCAG AA.

Where Forestry works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — 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 — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
