Untroubled Demantoid

#4d6f32
Notes

Untroubled Demantoid (#4D6F32) is a deep lime 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 (93°, 38%, 32%) 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 indigo. 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.

Demantoid
noun

A green variety of andradite garnet — known for its high dispersion (more than diamond) and prized in late-Tsarist-era Russian jewelry. Mined principally in the Russian Urals, Namibia, and Madagascar. The color refers to a faceted Russian demantoid: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the gem's signature internal fire.

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.
