Even Firuzeh
Even Firuzeh (#63F2D7) is a true teal 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 (169°, 85%, 67%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary red. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old English efen, flat, equal — used as a color modifier since the medieval period for hues that read as uniformly distributed across a surface. Even gray, even tan: the implication is moderate saturation combined with optical uniformity. Sits at the crisp-bucket center alongside steady and balanced.
The Persian word for turquoise — sourced from the Nishapur mines of Iran, used in Persian, Mughal, and Ottoman tile and jewelry for over four thousand years. Firuzeh tile defines the domes of the Shah Mosque in Isfahan. The color refers to fine Persian firuzeh: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the matte finish of fired faience.
