Poison Ivy
Also known as: Hanging Gardens of Babylon , Fennel Fiasco , Vitalize , Poetic Green
As a rich take on green, Poison Ivy carries grounded and restorative energy that suits wellness brands and eco packaging. A pink counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 7.06:1 on black clears AA.
