Jazzed Vine

#5aac2b
Notes

Jazzed Vine (#5AAC2B) is a true lime with a cool character. It leans cool, sitting on the blue, green, and violet side of the wheel. Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (98°, 60%, 42%) 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Jazzed

American slang jazz, liveliness — past-participle of jazz. As a color modifier, jazzed implies a saturated-and-excited-and-active quality, the bright color of American-Jazz-Age poster-and-album-cover saturated-and-rhythmic graphic-design. Sits at the bright-and-active end of the grid, parallel to caffeinated and wired in usage.

Vine
noun

Generic for any climbing plant — particularly the grapevine Vitis vinifera whose leaves are central to Mediterranean wine viticulture and dolma cooking. Vine color refers to fresh grape-vine leaves in early summer: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of vine leaf surface.
