Matt Green
Also known as: Vitalize, Spandex Green, Leapfrog, Poison Ivy
Matt Green brings a fresh and natural feel to any palette. This medium green is a natural fit for wellness brands and eco packaging. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a pink keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (7.24:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Matt Green works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
