Viridian
Also known as: Emerald Lake, Leprechaun, Sea Swell, Kabalite Green
A lively green with a grounded and restorative character, Viridian works beautifully for eco packaging and finance apps. A pink counterpart from the complementary harmony gives it the most tension. Accessibility-wise, it needs a dark backdrop — 5.30:1 on black clears AA.

Where Viridian works
- Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
- 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: A brand green signals freshness; deepen it for finance, brighten it for eco-consumer products.
- Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
