Glow Worm
Also known as: Rebounder, Cool as a Cucumber, Citrus Lime, Frog Prince
With its warm undertone, Glow Worm (#BED565) comes across as calm and balanced. Designers reach for it in wellness brands and eco packaging. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a purple keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 12.90:1 on black clears AA.

Where Glow Worm works
- Web & UI: Reads as an interactive accent: fills, hovers, focus rings. Keep body text in a darker neutral.
- 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.
