Jade
Also known as: Banaue Jade, Sesame Street Green, Jungle, Alhambra Green
As a rich take on green, Jade carries calm and balanced energy that suits 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 — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- 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.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
