Lined Roller
Lined Roller (#075C22) is a deep green with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (139°, 86%, 19%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old English līne, line / cord — past-participle of line. As a color modifier, lined implies a clear-and-coordinated-and-supported quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-lined-and-supported textile-or-print surface. Sits at the crisp-and-finished end of the grid, parallel to trim and coordinated in usage.
The family Coraciidae — Old World rollers whose acrobatic flight gives the family its name. Coracias caudatus (lilac-breasted roller) of southern Africa displays saturated turquoise wing covers. The color refers to a male lilac-breasted roller's wing: a saturated, slightly cool deep turquoise.
