Senatorial Asagi

#0e7532
Notes

Senatorial Asagi (#0E7532) 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 (141°, 79%, 26%) 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

Senatorial
adjective

Latin senātōrius, of the senator — adjectival suffix. As a color modifier, senatorial implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Senate toga praetexta purple-bordered ceremonial-citizen-class livery. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to patrician and imperial.

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.
