Healthful Tyrol

#2a6003
Notes

Healthful Tyrol (#2A6003) is a deep lime 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 (95°, 94%, 19%) 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Healthful
adjective

Old English hǣlth, health — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, healthful implies a clear-and-vital-and-wholesome quality where the hue carries the visual register of fresh-air-and-sunlight outdoor health-promoting environment. Sits at the crisp-and-wholesome end of the grid, parallel to salubrious and wholesome in usage.

Tyrol
noun

The Alpine region split between Austria and northern Italy — and the deep green of Tyrolean Alpine pasture and the grün lederhosen of traditional Austrian dress. Tyrol color refers to a Tyrolean Alpine meadow in July: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of high-altitude wildflower-and-grass.
