Olive Forest to Sea Teal

A gradient that walks from a sun-warmed olive forest into a cool sea teal — the colours of a coastal pine grove at midday. The 315° radial throws olive light to the upper-left and grounds the teal in the lower-right corners. Both colours sit at moderate saturation and lightness, which is why this gradient feels lived-in rather than designed. Made for outdoor brands that span land and sea: kayaking, coastal trails, sustainable fishing.

About this gradient

A gradient that walks from a sun-warmed olive forest into a cool sea teal — the colours of a coastal pine grove at midday. The 315° radial throws olive light to the upper-left and grounds the teal in the lower-right corners.

Colour story

#78A14E is olive forest (HSL 92°, 36% S, 47% L) — a green with strong earth tones, the colour of dried lichen on bark. It transitions into #438C8C, a sea teal (HSL 180°, 35% S, 41% L) sitting at the green-blue border. Matched ~36% saturation and similar lightness creates a landscape effect: hue shifts from warm to cool but the visual 'weight' stays constant, which is exactly how natural environments read.

Where to use it

  • →Outdoor brand campaigns spanning land + water (kayaking, paddleboarding, coastal hiking)
  • →Sustainable seafood, regenerative aquaculture, ocean-conservation NGO websites
  • →Coastal lifestyle media — slow-travel newsletters, surf-and-trail blogs, pacific-northwest tourism
  • →Workshop and craft brands rooted in landscape (boatbuilding, fly-tying, foraging)

Design tips

  • ·Body text: cream or pale gold — white can feel too clinical, deep brown is acceptable on lighter regions
  • ·Photography pairs best with natural-light shots that have similar tonal range — over-edited photos clash
  • ·Avoid pairing with high-saturation digital primaries — keep accents within the natural palette family
