The feeling

Deep green monochrome. A quiet, deliberate rhythm.

The mood

Imagine a greenhouse after the lamps have dimmed, with rain still caught on the leaves. Four green values carry the scene from deep canopy to pale reflected light.

How to use it

Give a meditation screen a dark canvas and forest-green session panels. Reserve the bright leaf green for the selected session; use jade for quiet botanical shapes.

Start with 65% Background, 25% Primary and 10% Highlight across the main surfaces; adjust these proportions for the composition. Text and small Accent details sit within that layout. The Text and Background pair measures 14.28:1.

What to watch

Keep the two middle greens out of adjacent status indicators; their difference is too subtle to carry meaning alone. Pale Fern on New Leaf measures 1.45:1 and is unsuitable for small text. Pale Fern on Rain Jade measures 3.21:1 and is unsuitable for small text.

A considered balance

Make room for
the right colors.

Give a meditation screen a dark canvas and forest-green session panels. Reserve the bright leaf green for the selected session; use jade for quiet botanical shapes.

Start with a generous background, introduce your primary color, then use the highlight sparingly. The ratios are a guide for large surfaces, not a fixed recipe.

Focal areas & key details

Background · Primary · Highlight. Use text and accent colors where their roles call for them.

Text on background
14.28:1 #E0FFE8 on #072B20 · AAA normal text
Text on primary
7.53:1 #E0FFE8 on #155B43 · AAA normal text
Text on highlight
1.45:1 #E0FFE8 on #64E89A · Not suitable for text

The original text has low contrast (1.45:1). This example uses Deep Canopy (#072B20) from the same palette instead of #E0FFE8 on #64E89A, improving contrast to 9.85:1. This meets WCAG AA for normal text.

Text on accent
3.21:1 #E0FFE8 on #2A9D65 · AA large text only

The original text has low contrast (3.21:1). This example shows the strongest available pair: Deep Canopy (#072B20) on #2A9D65 at 4.44:1. It still falls below 4.5:1 for normal text. Use a different background to meet that contrast requirement.

Contrast is calculated for these specific pairs. Large text means at least 24 px regular or about 18.7 px bold. Check every pairing in your final design.

Background is the canvas, text is readable copy, primary is a key surface, highlight draws attention, and accent adds small secondary details.

Text/background contrast: 14.28:1. This is one measured pair, not a guarantee for the whole palette. Check every actual text/background pairing against WCAG AA. Prefer readable combinations from the original colors, keep visible keyboard focus, and never communicate state through color alone. If no original pairing meets the requirement, propose a separately labeled derived color with its original HEX, proposed HEX, purpose and measured contrast. Never overwrite the source palette.

This guide preserves the original HEX values. Review the output before using it.
