Indica
Also known as: Golf Day , Hidden Paradise , Fiji Palm , Football Pitch
With its warm undertone, Indica (#588C3A) comes across as calm and balanced. Designers reach for it in finance apps and outdoor gear. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a purple keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.23:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Indica works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- 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.
- Branding: Reads as growth and sustainability, at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
