Blackish Olive
#42533e
Think of wet moss on a stone wall in the shade. Blackish Olive is a deep, grayed green with only a slight warm lean, muted enough to behave almost like a colored neutral. Pale Lemon Yellow brightens it sharply, Light Brownish Olive keeps things tonal and quiet, and Eosine Pink gives it an unexpected, slightly retro pop. With a contrast ratio near 8.3:1 on white it makes a dependable text color, though it is far too dark for type on black. Use it for cabinetry, outdoor signage or the cover of a field guide.
