Wasabi Nori

On the page, Wasabi Nori reads like a bright kitchen herb, but it doesn't turn playful the way lighter greens do. It's a deep olive-green with a slightly muted, almost inked-in look, so it feels more "printed stock" than fresh leaf.

I use it as the one you reach for when you need Green-family hierarchy without sliding into the heavier, duller gravity of Green Not Found or the darker, cooler shadow of Darkest Forest. Compared to Dark Olive, it's cleaner and more saturated, less oil-stained, and it holds its green identity instead of leaning olive-dominant. In practice, it shows up as status pills and section accents in logistics portals, fleet maintenance consoles, and sustainability reporting UIs, especially where you want labels to pop against gray surfaces without going forest-black.

Pair it with crisp off-whites or light cool grays. With warm beige backgrounds, it can start to look a bit tired, like it's been sitting in the margin.
