Herbal
Also known as: Gumdrop Green, Wells of Wonder, Mermaid Song, Simply Green
With its cool undertone, Herbal (#29AB87) comes across as grounded and restorative. Designers reach for it in eco packaging and finance apps. A pink counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.27:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Herbal 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.
