Aglow Demantoid

#6eb332
Notes

Aglow Demantoid (#6EB332) is a true lime 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 (92°, 56%, 45%) 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.

Etymology

Aglow
adjective

Old English on-glōwan, on-glow — sharing root with glow and gleam. As a color modifier, aglow implies a saturated-and-lit-from-within quality, the bright color of fireplace-and-jack-o-lantern interior-glow-lit warm-light emission against ambient darkness. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to glowing and aflame in usage.

Demantoid
noun

A green variety of andradite garnet — known for its high dispersion (more than diamond) and prized in late-Tsarist-era Russian jewelry. Mined principally in the Russian Urals, Namibia, and Madagascar. The color refers to a faceted Russian demantoid: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the gem's signature internal fire.
