Lush Grass
Also known as: Park Picnic , Underclover , Online Lime , Beating Around the Bush
Quietly fresh and natural, Lush Grass is a cool-toned green that earns its keep in wellness brands and eco packaging. A pink counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (5.16:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.
