Organized Asagi

#0b5a29
Notes

Organized Asagi (#0B5A29) 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 (143°, 78%, 20%) 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

Organized
adjective

Greek órganon, instrument / tool — past-participle of organize. As a color modifier, organized implies a clear-and-coordinated-and-systematic quality where the hue carries the visual register of well-coordinated-and-classified arrangement. Sits at the crisp-and-orderly end of the grid, parallel to orderly and methodical in usage.

Asagi
noun

Asagi-iro (浅葱色) — Japanese for light-onion color — a soft pale blue-green traditional in Heian-period kimono linings and Edo-period samurai inner robes. The color refers to a fresh-dyed asagi silk: a soft, slightly cool pale blue-green with the satin finish of plant-and-mordant silk dye. Cooler than mint, lighter than seafoam.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
