Jazzed Hunter
Jazzed Hunter (#65BE61) is a true green 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 (117°, 42%, 56%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
American slang jazz, liveliness — past-participle of jazz. As a color modifier, jazzed implies a saturated-and-excited-and-active quality, the bright color of American-Jazz-Age poster-and-album-cover saturated-and-rhythmic graphic-design. Sits at the bright-and-active end of the grid, parallel to caffeinated and wired in usage.
A deep, slightly muted green named for the wool jackets worn by British and American sportsmen for shooting and hunting since the late nineteenth century — chosen for camouflage in temperate woodland. The color refers to the dye on a traditional hunter-green Barbour or tweed: a deep, slightly blue-shifted green with the matte finish of a heavyweight wool. Darker than forest, cooler than holly.
