Lime Mist
Also known as: Creamy Avocado, Reef Refractions, Laced Green, Hawthorn Blossom
With its warm undertone, Lime Mist (#DDFFAA) comes across as fresh and natural. Designers reach for it in wellness brands and eco packaging. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a white keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (18.96:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Lime Mist 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.
