Trim Roller

#327d69
Notes

Trim Roller (#327D69) is a deep teal with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (164°, 43%, 34%) 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. 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

Trim
adjective

Old English trymman, to make firm — sharing root with firm. As a color modifier, trim implies a clear-and-neatly-arranged quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-edited surface-detail. Sits at the crisp-and-neat end of the grid, parallel to neat and tidy in usage.

Roller
noun

The family Coraciidae — Old World rollers whose acrobatic flight gives the family its name. Coracias caudatus (lilac-breasted roller) of southern Africa displays saturated turquoise wing covers. The color refers to a male lilac-breasted roller's wing: a saturated, slightly cool deep turquoise.
