Hyper Bottle

#3aa96c
Notes

Hyper Bottle (#3AA96C) is a true 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 (147°, 49%, 45%) 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Hyper
adjective

Greek hyper, over / beyond — sharing root with Latin super. As a color modifier, hyper implies a saturated-and-over-the-top-active quality where the hue exceeds normal visual amplitude with maximum-stimulation register. Sits at the bright-and-over-active end of the grid, parallel to manic and frenetic 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.

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.
