Poison Ivy
Also known as: Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Fennel Fiasco, Vitalize, Poetic Green
Poison Ivy sits on the cool side of the spectrum: a vivid green that feels grounded and restorative. Try it in 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.

- 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.
