Untroubled Mykonos

#47d0d8
Notes

Untroubled Mykonos (#47D0D8) is a true cyan with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (183°, 65%, 56%) 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 red. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Untroubled
adjective

Latin turbāre, to disturb — negative-prefix un- plus past-participle of trouble. As a color modifier, untroubled implies a clear-and-calm-and-undisturbed quality where the hue carries no visual agitation. Sits at the crisp-and-calm end of the grid, parallel to serene and placid in usage.

Mykonos
noun

The Cycladic island — and the saturated blue of Mykonos's painted shutters and the deep Aegean water around Paradise Beach. Mykonos color refers to a Mykonos painted-shutter blue: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue with the matte finish of weathered limewash-and-cobalt paint.
