Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness steps are gentle (11% to 44%), which keeps the mood consistent from edge to edge. Try it for wellness, organic and outdoor brands.
- Background: Basil (#599E41) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Jet (#363300) on #599E41 gives 3.92:1, enough for large headings only.
- Primary: Peacock (#006469) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Pine (#007C60) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
