Spring Bud
Also known as: Wolf Lichen, Lime Candy Pearl, Lemon Green, Chestnut Shell
Spring Bud is what happens when green turns medium and vivid. The effect is fresh and natural, made for eco packaging and finance apps. Its complement lands in purple territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (16.57:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Spring Bud works
- Web & UI: Best as a button fill, badge, or accent — pair it with white text only at large sizes, and check contrast.
- 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: Reads as growth and sustainability — at home in wellness, food, and environmental brands.
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, empty-state illustrations — not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
