Notes
Dark Green is the CSS value closest to the green of a healthy forest canopy under daylight. It carries strong heritage, conservation, and finance associations across cultures. The hex is dark enough to function as type against pale backgrounds and as a primary brand color for environmentally-positioned products. Cream and warm beige give a natural palette; bright coral makes a high-contrast pairing. Placing it directly next to pure red produces strong visual vibration that fatigues the eye. Body text against white passes AAA at all standard sizes, so it works for long-form display use.
