Jade Sea
Also known as: Desert Mirage, Filtered Forest, Pale Mountain Lake Turquoise, Refrigerator Green
Jade Sea brings a grounded and restorative feel to any palette. This pale green is a natural fit for 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, empty-state illustrations — 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.
