Specifically, Fresh Leaves has a lightness of 65% and a saturation of 100%, bright and airy, ideal as a light background or accent color that creates a soft, comfortable atmosphere; moreover, its saturation is extremely high and its visual tension is strong, so it works best used sparingly as a focal accent. In a word: Tender, newly sprouted leaves.
Color Psychology
Green can evoke relaxation, safety and balance, with a marked soothing effect; psychologically it symbolizes nature, health and hope. For this reason Fresh Leaves tends to leave a first impression of being calm and natural in the viewer’s mind, and this emotional tone also defines the role it plays in design.

Green suits environmental campaigns, healthcare, tea brands and any scene that needs to convey natural trust. In real projects, Fresh Leaves is also often used as a light background or supporting negative space; in “Green”-themed designs, the adjacent colors or lightness gradients built around it quickly establish a cohesive, clearly layered color scheme.
