Jade
Also known as: Banaue Jade , Sesame Street Green , Jungle , Alhambra Green
Jade is what happens when green turns rich and vivid. The effect is calm and balanced, made for outdoor gear and wellness brands. A pink counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (6.81:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Jade works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land: a 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.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette: packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
