Silken Jade

Muted, jade-leaning teal for cooler accents and cards
About Silken Jade
Silken Jade sits between sea-glass calm and control-room teal. On a mockup it reads softer and more muted than Java, and less forward than Baltic. The undertone leans slightly green, so it doesn't feel like a flat cyan accent. What I notice most is how it holds clarity without looking "pressed" into the background.
I'd use Silken Jade for places where you need action and status, but you don't want the color to feel loud: interactive tiles in dashboards and finance apps, inline progress or "in review" states in health platforms, and accent strokes for key fields in SaaS tables. Compared to Lagoon, it carries a touch more depth and stays steadier around teal-gray UI chrome, while still feeling cooler than the warmer members in the family. It's the one you reach for when the interface needs momentum, not emphasis.
Quirk: on warmer screens it can drift more olive-green, so pair it with crisp dark charcoal text and test your primary button states early.
