Glowy Chrysoprase
Glowy Chrysoprase (#67EFB7) 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 (155°, 81%, 67%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old English glōwan, to glow — adjectival suffix -y. As a color modifier, glowy implies a saturated-and-soft-emitting-and-warm quality, the bright color of fireside-and-candle-lit interior atmospheric-warmth surface emission. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to glowing and luminous in usage.
An apple-green variety of chalcedony — colored by trace nickel, mined principally in Australia, Poland, and Madagascar. The color refers to a polished Australian chrysoprase: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green-blue with the matte translucency of cryptocrystalline silica. Cooler than apple.
