Yuzukoshō

On my screen, Yuzukoshō looks like a lemon-green paste dabbed in brighter daylight. It's noticeably less muddy and less sour than Bitter Lemon, and it doesn't carry that grounded, "inked" weight you get from Greenivorous. Compared to Pear, it feels a touch deeper and more assertive, like the air got slightly warmer behind the pigment, not just lighter.

I reach for it in dashboards and finance apps when I need a "green that reads alive" without sliding into caution-yellow territory. It works in ecommerce and logistics portals for active filters, queued-to-ship states, and product availability badges where the UI shouldn't look sickly or too urgent. It also shows up nicely in editorial tech graphics for freshness, batch readiness, and category highlight bars.

Quirk: on near-white backgrounds it can flatten, so I'll pair it with a darker green outline or a steady gray line to keep it crisp next to softer greens.
