Conifer#ACDD4D, a brilliant lime

At a glanceConifer is #ACDD4D, oklch(83.6% 0.178 126.2), a brilliant lime. Its hue sits mid-wheel, neither warm nor cool. Partner it with a cool vivid indigo #304BCF as an accent, a warm medium amber #D9AA5B for harmony, and a faint teal #DAE1D1 as a neutral. Put it to work as a screen-first brand or accent color, and it takes black text at AA contrast. It shifts further on press than a run can hold, though, so Rhapsody would keep it off print-led brand work.
