Jewel Weed
Also known as: Marine Green , Golf Blazer , Ambrosial Oceanside , Jargon Jade
Few cyans feel this gentle. Jewel Weed leans cool and crisp and refreshing, which points it toward water themes and healthcare apps. Match it with pink accents when the design calls for energy over calm. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.22:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
