Glowy Bali

#6eab3e
Notes

Glowy Bali (#6EAB3E) 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 (94°, 47%, 46%) 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to glowing and luminous in usage.

Bali
noun

The Indonesian island — and the saturated green of Bali's terraced rice paddies (sawah) at the height of the wet season. Bali color refers to a Balinese terraced paddy in March: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the optical brightness of flooded young rice plants.
