Aglow Asagi

#25e6c8
Notes

Aglow Asagi (#25E6C8) is a true teal with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (171°, 79%, 52%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid 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

Aglow
adjective

Old English on-glōwan, on-glow — sharing root with glow and gleam. As a color modifier, aglow implies a saturated-and-lit-from-within quality, the bright color of fireplace-and-jack-o-lantern interior-glow-lit warm-light emission against ambient darkness. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to glowing and aflame 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.

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.
