#6F8E49 Hex Color
Muted green with an earthy backbone
Reach for this muted olive lime when a design needs green with some grit. #6f8e49 sits at mid lightness with low saturation, so it reads earthy instead of fresh, a natural fit for outdoor brands, sports kits, and organic packaging. Black text clears WCAG AA on it at about 5.6:1 contrast. It looks richer next to terracotta or deep plum than beside plain white, and works best as a base or supporting tone rather than a fine-detail accent.
