Inchworm
Also known as: Green Cow, Pisco Sour, Cucumber Milk, Dynamic Green
Inchworm is what happens when green turns soft and vivid. The effect is grounded and restorative, made for wellness brands and eco packaging. Its complement lands in purple territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (15.05:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Inchworm 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.
