Turf
Also known as: Stinging Nettle , Lady Luck , Ficus , Plasticine
Turf holds a rich position in the green range and reads as grounded and restorative. You'll see it used 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).

RAL values are widely published approximations of the physical standard. For Pantone-adjacent workflows, match by eye against a physical fan deck. Pantone's values are proprietary and device-dependent, so we don't print lookups.
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, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
