Futon
Also known as: Wishy-Washy Lime, Tokyo Underground, Diminished Lime, Old Kitchen White
With its warm undertone, Futon (#EDF6DB) comes across as calm and balanced. Designers reach for it in wellness brands and eco packaging. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a white keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (18.81:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Futon works
- Web & UI: Too light for text, ideal as a background wash that keeps a page from feeling sterile.
- Interiors: Wall-to-wall safe: it behaves like a white with personality, especially in north-facing rooms.
- 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.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
