Frog Pond
Also known as: Absinthe Green , Jade Stone Green , Irish Hedge , Frosted Emerald
Few greens feel this gentle. Frog Pond leans cool and fresh and natural, which points it toward wellness brands and eco packaging. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a pink keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (8.75:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

- Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
- 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.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
