Mighty Tyrol

#66a009
Notes

Mighty Tyrol (#66A009) is a deep lime with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (83°, 89%, 33%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Mighty
adjective

Old English mihtig, strong — adjectival suffix -y, sharing root with German mächtig. As a color modifier, mighty implies a saturated-and-strong-presence quality, where the hue commands visual attention through pure pigmentation strength. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to forceful and commanding in tone.

Tyrol
noun

The Alpine region split between Austria and northern Italy — and the deep green of Tyrolean Alpine pasture and the grün lederhosen of traditional Austrian dress. Tyrol color refers to a Tyrolean Alpine meadow in July: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of high-altitude wildflower-and-grass.
