Composed Oasis

#1d9a39
Notes

Composed Oasis (#1D9A39) is a true 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 (133°, 68%, 36%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. 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.

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.
