Yoshi
Also known as: Plastic Pines , Ruminant’s Paradise , Early Dew , Prairie Green
Few greens feel this vivid. Yoshi leans warm and grounded and restorative, which points it toward outdoor gear and wellness brands. Yoshi plays well with purple tones. The harmonies below show which ones. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.14:1), but avoid it as text on white.

Where Yoshi works
- Web & UI: A supporting-cast color for UI: chart fills, tags, and empty-state illustrations, but not text.
- 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.
- Branding: A secondary brand color by nature: it supports a stronger primary and shines in illustration.
