Wise. Deep moss with lime voltage.

  • Finance
  • Light theme
  • 12 colors
  • 3 typefaces

Wise speaks in a confident, slightly loud voice: a deep forest green (#163300) carries most of the surface area — text, nav, dark sections, icons — while a single electric lime (#9fe870) acts as functional punctuation on CTAs, active tabs, and key highlights. The display type is almost aggressive: Wise Sans at weight 900, tightly tracked, shouted across the hero in 100px+ block letters. The rest of the system stays restrained on a near-white canvas with soft gray surfaces (#e8ebe6). Components are pill-shaped by default — buttons, nav segments, flag thumbnails, image masks — with gentle 10px radii reserved for cards and inputs. Color rarely gradients; instead, the lime–forest pairing inverts cleanly when sections go dark, creating rhythm without decoration.

Wise

Brand3

  • Dominant brand dark — nav text, dark section backgrounds, primary copy on light surfaces, icon strokes, filled navigation pills. This is the brand's gravity: wherever you need weight or authority, you reach for Forest Ink

  • Green supporting accent for decorative details and low-frequency emphasis. Do not promote it to the primary CTA color

  • Secondary dark green for card surfaces, supporting iconography, and tonal depth on dark sections where Forest Ink is too heavy

Accent3

  • Pale green wash for soft highlight surfaces, tinted card backgrounds, nav hover states. A whisper of the brand green for low-emphasis containers

  • Blue supporting accent for decorative details and low-frequency emphasis

  • Red supporting accent for decorative details and low-frequency emphasis. Use as a supporting accent, not as a status color

Neutrals6

  • Display headlines, high-contrast headings, pure-black moments in nav and hero. Slightly green-tinted black, not neutral gray

  • Primary text, body copy, dense UI — slightly warm black that feels softer than pure #000 against white

  • Supporting body text, helper labels, subdued iconography. One step darker than Pebble for slightly more emphasis

  • Muted secondary text, placeholder copy, icon strokes, input borders. The mid-gray that recedes

  • Card surfaces, section dividers, subtle panel backgrounds on the white canvas. Green-tinted off-white, not pure neutral

  • Page canvas, inverted card surfaces, button text on lime fill
