About In Good Taste
In Good Taste is the kind of green you notice on a clean label that's been through a press check and still looks calm. It's lighter than Basil Smash, so it won't punch forward, but it stays more clearly green than Fizz, avoiding that frosted, slightly washed feel.
For me, this is the one you reach for when you need a background wash that reads "healthy" without drifting into minty softness or money-warm optimism. I use it in dashboards and finance apps-adjacent UI where status chips, filter panels, and secondary charts need to sit quietly next to whites. It works well in logistics monitoring screens, HR portals, and admin-heavy web apps because the undertone stays neutral-green rather than tipping yellow like Big Spender.
One quirk: because it's fairly pale, it can look extra light against very dark modes. Pair with deeper green accents for hierarchy so buttons and active states don't blend together.
