Summit
Also known as: Eyefull, Watchet, Lorian, Cold Front Green
A gentle cyan with a clean and modern character, Summit works beautifully for water themes and healthcare apps. Because it leans cool, balancing it with a red 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, empty-state illustrations — 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.
