About Wicked Witch

This green feels like it's been chosen for the label on a weathered tool shed: plant-colored, but with a darker, more deliberate tone than the brighter chart greens. Wicked Witch sits a step down in lightness from and , so it reads more confident and less "freshly mown." And compared to , it's less gray-soft and more saturated, so it holds its presence instead of turning quiet.

On UI, I use it where the green has to feel operational, not informational. Think field service work status, equipment tag panels, and maintenance queues in logistics and property management, plus production dashboards where you want "in progress" to look weighty. It also works well for map overlays that need to anchor a zone without going olive. It's cool enough to stay disciplined next to neutral UI, but it won't feel like the one you reach for when you need stoplight clarity.

Pair it with off-whites and clean concrete to keep it from closing in. If you drop it beside very warm paper tones, it can tilt a touch moodier than you expect, so give it a brighter buffer.
