Hex color #e3ffeb graphic
Softer than mint ice cream, #e3ffeb is a barely-there green that reads almost white at a glance. Its high lightness and low saturation give it a fresh, calm feel, which suits health, eco, and clean beauty design. It works best as a dominant background in the 60% of a palette, grounded by darker greens or charcoal. Next to pure white it nearly disappears, so reserve it for large surfaces, not fine detail.
