Untroubled Caspian

#608767
Notes

Untroubled Caspian (#608767) 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 (131°, 17%, 45%) 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 magenta. 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.

Caspian
noun

The world's largest inland body of water — between Iran, Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Azerbaijan. Caspian color refers to mid-depth Caspian Sea water: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the optical complexity of slightly brackish water over silt-rich bottom.
