Jade Sea
Also known as: Desert Mirage , Filtered Forest , Pale Mountain Lake Turquoise , Refrigerator Green
Jade Sea is a pale, gentle green that reads as grounded and restorative. It earns its place in outdoor gear and wellness brands. Set it against a pink accent when you want the combination to pop. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (14.61:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Jade Sea 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.
