Easy Bì

#586e52
Notes

Easy Bì (#586E52) 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 (107°, 15%, 38%) 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

Easy
adjective

Old French aisié, comfortable, at rest — used as a color modifier since the eighteenth century for hues that read as visually undemanding. Easy beige, easy gray: moderate saturation combined with optical restfulness. Sits at the crisp-bucket center alongside calm and settled.

noun

The Chinese word for bluish-green jade — used for the deepest, most saturated jade-green color and the green of bì-yù (jadeite). The color refers to a polished imperial bì-yù cabochon: a saturated, slightly cool deep green-blue with the satin finish of fine jade. Cooler than midori.
