Make the colors work
Sage Porcelain puts green into the action and reading hierarchy, with pink as a supporting detail. Canyon Sage reverses that emphasis: clay carries the interaction and sage supports route summaries. Choose the role before choosing the exact shade. A green accent alone will not make every element of a website feel green.
For a restrained result, use the pale green on cards and retain a dark neutral for paragraphs. A muted medium green can look clear as a large swatch while failing as a small text link. The measured example below checks that actual pairing. Underline links and give selected controls another cue besides green.
Put the palette beside the photographs and illustrations that will appear on the page. Warm cream and cool porcelain produce different relationships with the same foliage image. These are original digital combinations, not paint or product color specifications.
