Easy Oasis

#0e7f61
Notes

Easy Oasis (#0E7F61) 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 (164°, 80%, 28%) 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 red. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Easy
adjective

Old French aisié, comfortable, at rest — used as a color modifier since the eighteenth century for hues that read as visually undemanding. Easy beige, easy gray: moderate saturation combined with optical restfulness. Sits at the crisp-bucket center alongside calm and settled.

Oasis
noun

A fertile spot in a desert — particularly the date-palm oases of the Sahara and Arabian peninsula. Oasis color refers to the unifying blue-green of a Saharan oasis pool surrounded by date palms: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the optical clarity of mineral-spring water.

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.
