Glassmith
Also known as: Thalassa, Lago Blue, Utopia Beckons, Sussie
A lively cyan with a cool and clear character, Glassmith works beautifully for healthcare apps and modern branding. Match it with red accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (8.63:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Glassmith works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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.
- Branding: Sits in the trust register — a natural primary for finance, health, and B2B brands.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
