Disciplined Bluegrass

#0e763e
Notes

Disciplined Bluegrass (#0E763E) is a deep teal 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 (148°, 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

Disciplined
adjective

Latin disciplīna, teaching / training — past-participle of discipline. As a color modifier, disciplined implies a clear-and-controlled-and-careful quality where the hue carries the visual register of careful-edited-and-restrained design-decision. Sits at the crisp-and-orderly end of the grid, parallel to methodical and orderly in usage.

Bluegrass
noun

Poa pratensis, Kentucky bluegrass — the cool-season turf grass that dominates lawns of the American Northeast and Midwest. Bluegrass music takes its name from the same plant via Bill Monroe's bluegrass-state Kentucky band. The color refers to a fresh-mown Kentucky bluegrass lawn: a soft, slightly cool blue-green-gray with the matte finish of cropped grass.

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.
