Colour pairings & usage tips

Use these colours.

Let the tea-green colour mark the product or illustration and use a creamy companion for space around it. Compare the colours with the actual packaging material before production.

Text & contrast.

A mid-light green may disappear against cream when used for fine lettering. Reserve it for larger fills unless a measured text pair supports the intended size.

A pairing to start with.

In Moss Petal, #609362 against #E8DFB6 has a contrast ratio of 2.68:1. Keep this pair decorative and choose a higher-contrast foreground for text. This checks opaque colours only; use the contrast checker to review text in a palette preview. Transparency and gradients need their own checks.

The five swatches span 61–90% OKLCH lightness. Try different colour roles in the palette generator.
