Using this palette

Real olive-tree foliage is famously gray-green rather than the saturated green people expect, which is why every green swatch here is pulled well toward gray — pushing any of them toward a cleaner, more saturated green would break the Mediterranean association entirely. #C2B280 stands in for the region's dry, pale earth and works as a genuinely different neutral from the cream/off-white options used elsewhere in this dataset, carrying a stronger tan cast. #3C3D1E is dark enough to serve as text or a grounding UI tone. Fits Mediterranean food/travel branding or muted, earthy interior palettes; overlaps in mood with muted-sage but leans drier and more yellow overall.
