Norway
Also known as: Byakuroku Green, Haven, Easy Green, Forest Tapestry
Quietly fresh and natural, Norway is a warm-toned green that earns its keep in eco packaging and finance apps. Because it leans warm, balancing it with a purple keeps a palette from feeling one-note. For accessible text, use it on black or near-black backgrounds (9.83:1, passes WCAG AA) rather than white.

Where Norway works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, 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 — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
- Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
