Ignited Glassy

#6ce17b
Notes

Ignited Glassy (#6CE17B) is a true green with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (128°, 66%, 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Ignited
adjective

Latin ignīre, to set on fire — past-participle of ignite. As a color modifier, ignited implies a saturated-and-just-started-burning quality, the bright color of match-strike-and-flint-spark initial-combustion emission. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to kindled and aflame in usage.

Glassy
noun

A descriptor for very calm water surface — used in maritime vocabulary for sea conditions when wind is below 1 knot and the surface reflects like polished glass. Glassy color refers to a glassy-calm tropical lagoon at dawn: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the mirror-finish optical complexity of unbroken water.

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.
