Marsh Fog
Also known as: Misty Lake , Apothecary Jar , Transparent White , New Moss
Marsh Fog is what happens when green turns pale and gentle. The effect is calm and balanced, made for eco packaging and finance 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 (14.05:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Marsh Fog works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively for dividers, chart series, and illustration accents, and let neutrals carry the type.
- Interiors: Muted enough to paint all four walls; sample it in both daylight and evening light before committing.
- Fashion: Works as a base layer or outerwear tone that lets brighter pieces do the talking.
- Branding: A brand green signals freshness; deepen it for finance, brighten it for eco-consumer products.
- 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.
