Unblemished Bloodstone

#6eae67
Notes

Unblemished Bloodstone (#6EAE67) is a true green 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 (114°, 30%, 54%) 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

Unblemished
adjective

Old French blesmir, to wound — negative-prefix un- plus past-participle of blemish. As a color modifier, unblemished implies a clear-and-flawless quality where the hue carries no defect or imperfection. Sits at the crisp-and-clean end of the grid, parallel to pristine and spotless in usage.

Bloodstone
noun

A dark green chalcedony with red iron-oxide flecks — used in classical antiquity for engraved seals and Christian-era ornament (the red flecks symbolizing Christ's blood). Also called heliotrope. The color refers to a polished bloodstone cabochon: a saturated, slightly muted dark yellow-green with the optical complexity of red-flecked chalcedony.

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.
