How to Use the Sage Harmony Color Palette

Perfect for wellness brands, organic products, modern interiors, botanical branding, and natural food and beauty packaging.

Because this palette centers on a single hue family, balancing the supporting tones correctly keeps it from feeling flat. Apply the 60-30-10 rule: use #87A878 for 60% of your design, #9CB890 for 30%, and reserve #B5CCA9 for the remaining 10% on calls-to-action and key highlights.

Drop these values in directly as CSS custom properties:

:root {
  --sage-harmony-primary: #87A878;
  --sage-harmony-secondary: #9CB890;
  --sage-harmony-accent: #B5CCA9;
  --sage-harmony-background: #6B9160;
  --sage-harmony-highlight: #4D7344;
}

The Sage Harmony palette's lightest tone, #B5CCA9, pairs best with dark text on top, while its darkest tone, #4D7344, needs light or white text to meet the WCAG 2.1 AA minimum contrast ratio of 4.5:1. Check any text/background combination from this palette with a contrast checker before shipping.
