Untroubled Blueberry

#669ee5
Notes

Untroubled Blueberry (#669EE5) is a true azure with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (214°, 71%, 65%) 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 orange. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Untroubled
adjective

Latin turbāre, to disturb — negative-prefix un- plus past-participle of trouble. As a color modifier, untroubled implies a clear-and-calm-and-undisturbed quality where the hue carries no visual agitation. Sits at the crisp-and-calm end of the grid, parallel to serene and placid in usage.

Blueberry
noun

The genus Vaccinium — North American native berry shrubs cultivated since the early twentieth century. The fruit's deep blue-purple skin is colored by anthocyanin and the protective bloom of waxy yeast cells. The color refers to a fresh wild blueberry: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the powdery finish of waxy fruit surface.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
