Bright lime-green midpoint for light UI states
About Inchworm
On my screen, Inchworm reads like a fresh spring leaf that's been brightened just enough to feel weightless, not loud. It's lighter than Conifer and less yellow-leaning than Cucumber Milk, so it doesn't take on that milky, foggy softness or the highlighter vibe. Compared with Bitter Lemon, the green stays clean and rounded, without that sun-baked, slightly off edge.
This is the one you reach for when you need green that stays friendly in UI blocks: onboarding steps in consumer apps, product settings for retail and logistics portals, and the calm highlight states in health and wellness dashboards. In editorials and packaging mockups for food brands, it sits as an attention cue without tipping into caution. It plays well over white space, but it also holds up on tinted panels where you'd otherwise choose a desaturated leaf.
One note: because it's light, it can wash out next to near-white backgrounds unless you give it a slightly darker border or text color.
