Gum Leaf
Also known as: Pastel Meadow, Spring Leaves, Bird’s Egg Green, Cambridge Blue
As a soft take on green, Gum Leaf carries grounded and restorative energy that suits wellness brands and eco packaging. Match it with pink accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (11.75:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Gum Leaf works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation — a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Reads as growth and sustainability — at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- 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.
