Milk Foam
Also known as: Crème de Menthe , Herbal Tea , Diminished Lime , Minified Lime
A vivid green with a fresh and natural character, Milk Foam works well for finance apps and outdoor gear. A white counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (20.39:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Milk Foam works
- Web & UI: A natural surface tint: use it for cards, section backgrounds, or hover states instead of flat white.
- Interiors: A softer alternative to builder's white for walls, trim, or ceilings. It turns warmer under evening light.
- 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, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Interiors: Strong for a whole room, excellent in doses: an accent wall, cabinetry, or a statement chair.
