Notes
Sea Green is the deep, slightly blue-leaning green of a calm ocean at midday. The CSS hex sits between Forest Green and Light Sea Green, with moderate chroma at low-mid lightness. Outdoor, travel, and environmental brands use it as a primary identity colour. Pair with cream for warmth, or with warm coral for an unexpected complementary accent. Against white it passes body text contrast in most sizes and works as a primary action colour or display heading. AAA holds at standard body sizes and the value carries long-form reading confidently.
