Hex color #bfe3c0 graphic
Think of the flesh of a celery stalk or a faded mint leaf. #bfe3c0 sits in that pale green territory: very unsaturated, light, and soft rather than vivid. It works best as a dominant background base, where black text reaches roughly 15:1 contrast. Next to plain white it can wash out, so ground it with deep forest green or charcoal accents.
