Design solution
The color palette is warm to create a cozy atmosphere. Green shades predominate. Analogous green, traditional green, and light green are matched with the primary green. Purple, which complements green, is matched with green. The colors were selected using the Material Design guidelines.
Gradients in the background and transparent design elements, such as the tab bar, buttons, and other elements, create a sense of greenhouses and windowsills where house plants are usually grown.
Rounded, smooth lines predominate in the design of elements, which repeat  
the natural lines of plants and flowers.
The INTER font family was deliberately chosen to simplify the perception of text. The text is sans-serif and free of decorative elements. Large texts written in INTER are easy to read and understand on the go.
