Lined Phuket

#4a724e
Notes

Lined Phuket (#4A724E) is a true 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 (126°, 21%, 37%) places it in the muted 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Lined
adjective

Old English līne, line / cord — past-participle of line. As a color modifier, lined implies a clear-and-coordinated-and-supported quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-lined-and-supported textile-or-print surface. Sits at the crisp-and-finished end of the grid, parallel to trim and coordinated in usage.

Phuket
noun

The Thai island in the Andaman Sea — and the saturated turquoise of Phuket's western beach water at Patong and Karon. Phuket refers to the beach water at midday: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the optical clarity of warm tropical-Asian water.
