Mistletoe
Also known as: Gallery Green, Grey Green, Basil, Mermaid’s Cove
As a medium take on green, Mistletoe carries grounded and restorative energy that suits eco packaging and finance apps. Its complement lands in purple territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 7.57:1 on black clears AA.

Where Mistletoe works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Interiors: Soft and low-saturation — a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
- Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
- Branding: Reads as growth and sustainability — at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- 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.
