Pastel green. #80ba85 is a muted, mid-light green with a soft gray undertone, which gives it a calm, approachable feel that suits gardening, wellness, and eco branding. It works best as a large background base rather than a fine-detail accent, and it can look washed out next to plain white. Black text reads clearly on it at about 9.3:1 contrast, so small body copy passes WCAG AA with room to spare.
