Untroubled Yogyakarta

#546b8b
Notes

Untroubled Yogyakarta (#546B8B) is a true azure 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 (215°, 25%, 44%) 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 amber. 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.

Yogyakarta
noun

The Indonesian Javanese cultural capital — and the deep blue of batik textiles produced in the Kraton (royal palace) and Imogiri royal-cemetery workshops. Yogyakarta color refers to a batik tulis deep-blue silk: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue with the satin finish of indigo-and-soga (resist-dye) batik.
