Level Ireland

#6a7f50
Notes

Level Ireland (#6A7F50) is a true lime with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (87°, 23%, 41%) places it in the muted 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Level
adjective

Latin libella, small-balance / level-tool — sharing root with libra (balance). As a color modifier, level implies a clear-and-horizontal-true quality where the hue carries the visual register of gravity-perpendicular-and-perfectly-horizontal surface. Sits at the crisp-and-balanced end of the grid, parallel to plumb and flat in usage.

Ireland
noun

The Emerald Isle — and the saturated deep green of Irish countryside, the cathair (capital green) of Dublin, and the Connacht shamrock symbol. Ireland refers to a County Kerry hillside in May: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of well-watered Atlantic-coast grass.
