Sanitary Bermuda

#346b3f
Notes

Sanitary Bermuda (#346B3F) is a deep green 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 (132°, 35%, 31%) 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Sanitary
adjective

Latin sānitās, health — adjectival suffix -ary. As a color modifier, sanitary implies a clear-and-clean-and-medical quality, the crisp color of Bauhaus-and-Modern clinical-and-hospital interior-architecture white-tile-and-stainless-steel surfaces. Sits at the crisp-and-clean end of the grid, parallel to hygienic and sterile in usage.

Bermuda
noun

The North Atlantic British Overseas Territory — and the saturated blue-green of Bermuda's coral-reef lagoons. Bermuda color refers to Horseshoe Bay water at low tide: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the optical clarity of warm Atlantic water filtered through pink-coral sand.
