Assured Groen

#608513
Notes

Assured Groen (#608513) is a deep 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 (79°, 75%, 30%) 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

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.

Groen
noun

The Dutch word for green — used for the Hollands Groen of Delft Blue's complementary glaze and the green polders of Dutch reclaimed-land farmland. The color refers to a Delft-pottery green underglaze: a saturated, slightly cool green with the matte finish of fired tin-glaze. The Dutch cousin of green.
