Rosemary

Muted sage-leaning teal for softer, warmer panels
About Rosemary
Rosemary feels like the calm moment after you close a teal-heavy tab. It has that muted herb-tinge, but it's still unmistakably blue. Compared to Lacrosse's more grounded medium-dark presence, Rosemary is lighter and less stern. And unlike Enchanting Ivy's darker, blue-green seam, Rosemary pulls back toward a softer, cooler blue-green without getting murky.
On a screen, it reads as a mid-light, desaturated blue that stays composed instead of shimmering or flirting with extra depth. I use it for dashboards and healthcare portals where headings, section headers, and quiet panel backgrounds need clarity without competing with alerts or primary CTAs. It's also great for charts and table scaffolding in fintech workflows, because it feels the one you reach for when you want stable contrast against clean neutrals.
Quirk: on very warm displays, it can lean slightly greener than you expect. If your UI runs hot, pair it with a cooler off-white so it stays in the blue lane.
