Houseplant
Muted olive with a soft natural weight
Houseplant is a dusty, unsaturated olive green that leans into earthiness. Its muted character makes it a strong supporting tone for branding, rather than a full background. Pair it with soft cream or warm terracotta to balance its serious, organic weight. The hex code for this color is #58713f. Since it provides enough contrast for readable text, it works well for UI elements that need a grounded, natural feel.
