Using this palette
Notably more yellow and dustier than mint-condition's clean, cool green — actual pistachio color (the nut, and the desserts flavored with it) carries a genuine yellow-green, almost olive undertone that's easy to mistake for a green mistake if you're not deliberately tuning for it, which is exactly what separates this palette from a generic pale-green set. #6B7A4A is the only tone dark enough for text. Suits bakery, dessert, or confectionery branding specifically; distinct enough from mint-condition and pistachio's common visual confusion with mint that using this palette signals genuine attention to the actual color.
