Summit

#8BB6B8

Also known as: Eyefull , Watchet , Lorian , Cold Front Green

A gentle cyan with a clean and modern character, Summit works well for water themes and healthcare apps. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a pink keeps a palette from feeling one-note. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop: 9.48:1 on black clears AA.

Where Summit works

Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
Interiors: Soft and low-saturation: a candidate for full walls, where vivid colors overwhelm.
Fashion: A wardrobe neutral: it anchors outfits and pairs with nearly any accent color.
Branding: Sits in the trust register: a natural primary for finance, health, and B2B brands.
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.
