Pastel Pea
Also known as: Basil Smash, Field Day, Basilisk Lizard, Madang
Pastel Pea is a soft, lively green that reads as calm and balanced. It shines in eco packaging and finance apps. A purple counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (15.16:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Pastel Pea works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- 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.
- Branding: A brand green signals freshness; deepen it for finance, brighten it for eco-consumer products.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
