Warm Asagi

#64aa83
Notes

Warm Asagi (#64AA83) 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 (147°, 29%, 53%) 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

Warm
adjective

Old English wearm, of moderate heat — used as a color modifier since the medieval period for hues that read as containing red, orange, or yellow undertones. Warm gray, warm white: not necessarily a temperature, but the optical impression of a slight red-orange shift. Sits across the crisp and neutral buckets.

Asagi
noun

Asagi-iro (浅葱色) — Japanese for light-onion color — a soft pale blue-green traditional in Heian-period kimono linings and Edo-period samurai inner robes. The color refers to a fresh-dyed asagi silk: a soft, slightly cool pale blue-green with the satin finish of plant-and-mordant silk dye. Cooler than mint, lighter than seafoam.
