Notes
Dark Sea Green is a muted, dusty mid-green named after the deeper shade of seaweed. The CSS hex has low chroma and a slight blue cast, distinct from the warmer mid-greens in the spec. It enjoys steady use in wellness, organic-food, and home-decor branding where a calmer green is preferred to brighter alternatives. Cream and terracotta alongside give a natural palette; off-white and charcoal push it toward a modern minimalist look. It works well as a large surface tone without fatiguing the eye. Body text against white passes AA at headline sizes but is borderline below 14px.
