Using this palette
Most 'spring' palettes drown the green in pastel, but a real early meadow is dominated by grass in three distinct greens before flowers show up in any quantity — that's why three of five swatches here are green, moving from a deep #3D8B3D shade up through yellow-greens, with a single pink (#F48FB1) standing in for the first blooms rather than a whole flower-bed's worth of color. Use #3D8B3D for anything that needs to read as 'natural' and grounded — nav bars, icons — and let the pink appear sparingly as an accent dot or CTA, never as a large fill, or the palette stops reading as a meadow and starts reading as candy.
