Guacamole
Also known as: Green Cast, Silk Road, Boston Fern, Rhind Papyrus
Guacamole is what happens when yellow turns medium and gentle. The effect is bright and alert, made for cheerful branding and kids' apps. Match it with blue accents when the design calls for energy over calm. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (6.98:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Guacamole works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
- Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
- 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.
