Turf
Also known as: Stinging Nettle, Lady Luck, Ficus, Plasticine
Part of the green family, Turf pairs a rich base with a grounded and restorative presence — ideal for outdoor gear and wellness brands. Match it with purple accents when the design calls for energy over calm. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (7.57:1, passes WCAG AA).

Where Turf works
- Web & UI: Dark enough for body text and icons on white backgrounds — it passes WCAG AA as-is.
- 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.
