Terrestrial
Also known as: Embracing, Forest Rain, Eucalyptus Green, Ore Mountains Green
A lively cyan with a clean and modern character, Terrestrial works beautifully for modern branding and tech interfaces. Match it with red accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (6.64:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Terrestrial works
- Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
- 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: The safest brand-primary family there is; differentiate with an unexpected accent.
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
