Suggested color roles

primary

#006400 - Use this deep forest green for strong brand anchors, main headings, or substantial UI elements where a sense of stability and depth is desired.

secondary

#2E8B57 - A versatile medium green, excellent for subheadings, prominent buttons, or graphical elements that need to stand out without overpowering the primary.

accent

#3CB371 - This vibrant medium-light green provides a lively pop, perfect for calls-to-action, interactive elements, or small illustrative details that require immediate attention.

background

#66CDAA - A light, calming green that works well for subtle backgrounds, secondary content areas, or card elements to create a soft, natural base.

text

For dark text, consider a very dark gray or black (e.g., #333333) against lighter backgrounds like #66CDAA or #20B2AA. For light text, white (#FFFFFF) can be used against #006400 or #2E8B57 for optimal readability.

Accessibility notes

  • Ensure sufficient contrast between text and background, especially when using lighter greens like #66CDAA and #20B2AA for backgrounds.
  • Avoid placing #3CB371 text directly on #2E8B57 backgrounds without checking WCAG AA or AAA compliance.
  • For interactive elements, use a distinct color like #3CB371 or #2E8B57 against a neutral background to clearly indicate interactivity.
  • Use a tool to verify contrast ratios for all text and UI elements to meet WCAG standards, particularly for #006400 text on lighter shades.
