Paradiso
Also known as: Enamel Antique Green, Submerged, Pacific Sea Teal, Tapestry Teal
As a medium take on cyan, Paradiso carries crisp and refreshing energy that suits tech interfaces and water themes. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a red keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (4.70:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Paradiso works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- 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: Sits in the trust register — a natural primary for finance, health, and B2B brands.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
