Assured Tyrol

#5ca218
Notes

Assured Tyrol (#5CA218) is a true lime with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (90°, 74%, 36%) 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.

Etymology

Assured
adjective

Old French aseürer, to give assurance — past-participle of assure. As a color modifier, assured implies a saturated-and-confident quality where the hue carries unwavering certainty about its own visual identity. Sits at the bold-and-confident end of the grid, parallel to certain and poised.

Tyrol
noun

The Alpine region split between Austria and northern Italy — and the deep green of Tyrolean Alpine pasture and the grün lederhosen of traditional Austrian dress. Tyrol color refers to a Tyrolean Alpine meadow in July: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of high-altitude wildflower-and-grass.
