Sunny Moss & Eucalyptus is a vivid complementary color palette tagged cold, teal, green. Cadet and Parchment sit nearly opposite on the color wheel, so the pairing has real energy; keep one as the accent. These are bold, punchy colors that need generous white space around them. Warm and cool hues are mixed, which adds depth.

Why it works and how to use it
It works because the lightness range is wide (32% to 89%), which gives clear hierarchy between background, content and accents. Try it for websites, presentations and branding.
- Background: Parchment (#F2E9D4) is the lightest color, so it belongs on large surfaces.
- Text: Cadet (#0A978A) on #F2E9D4 gives 2.99:1, so pair it with a darker neutral for body copy.
- Primary: Moss (#8FA02C) is the most saturated mid-tone; use it for buttons and links with a border or a darker shade for contrast.
- Accent: Eucalyptus (#5DCAA1) for highlights, badges and hover states.
No pair inside the palette reaches 4.5:1, so add black or white for body text.
