Jazzed Bottle

#20d1c7
Notes

Jazzed Bottle (#20D1C7) is a true cyan with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (177°, 73%, 47%) 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 red. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Jazzed
adjective

American slang jazz, liveliness — past-participle of jazz. As a color modifier, jazzed implies a saturated-and-excited-and-active quality, the bright color of American-Jazz-Age poster-and-album-cover saturated-and-rhythmic graphic-design. Sits at the bright-and-active end of the grid, parallel to caffeinated and wired in usage.

Bottle
noun

The traditional dark green of European wine and beer bottles — produced by adding iron oxide to the glass batch to filter UV that would damage the contents. The color refers to a Riesling or Burgundy bottle held against the light: a deep, slightly blue-shifted green with the optical translucency of glass. Darker than spruce, cooler than forest, with the cellar weight of a color that's been protecting wine since the seventeenth century.
