Symmetrical Echeveria

#64b192
Notes

Symmetrical Echeveria (#64B192) 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 (156°, 33%, 54%) 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Symmetrical
adjective

Greek symmetría, due-proportion — adjectival suffix -al, derived from sym-metron (with-measure). As a color modifier, symmetrical implies a clear-and-balanced-and-mirrored quality where the hue carries the visual register of bilateral-or-radial proportional symmetry. Sits at the crisp-and-balanced end of the grid, parallel to balanced and aligned in usage.

Echeveria
noun

The genus Echeveria — Mexican rosette-forming succulents named for the eighteenth-century botanical illustrator Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy. Cultivated globally as ornamental plants for their geometric blue-green form. The color refers to a fresh Echeveria elegans rosette: a soft, slightly cool silver-green-blue with the matte velvet finish of waxy succulent leaves.
