Orderly Asagi

#1e7037
Notes

Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (138°, 58%, 28%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals.

Etymology

Orderly
adjective

Latin ōrdō, order — adjectival suffix -ly. As a color modifier, orderly implies a clear-and-arranged-and-organized quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-ordered-and-classified placement. Sits at the crisp-and-orderly end of the grid, parallel to methodical and organized 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.
