Stalwart Bali

#639e26
Notes

Stalwart Bali (#639E26) 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°, 61%, 38%) 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

Sits at the bold-and-firm end of the grid, parallel to steadfast and firm in usage.

Bali

The Indonesian island — and the saturated green of Bali's terraced rice paddies (sawah) at the height of the wet season. Bali color refers to a Balinese terraced paddy in March: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the optical brightness of flooded young rice plants.
