Lined Artemisia

#6ec07d
Notes

Lined Artemisia (#6EC07D) 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 (131°, 39%, 59%) 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Lined
adjective

Old English līne, line / cord — past-participle of line. As a color modifier, lined implies a clear-and-coordinated-and-supported quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-lined-and-supported textile-or-print surface. Sits at the crisp-and-finished end of the grid, parallel to trim and coordinated in usage.

Artemisia
noun

The genus Artemisia — sage-and-wormwood-and-mugwort relatives whose silver-green leaves define Mediterranean dry-garden landscaping. The color refers to a fresh Artemisia ludoviciana cultivated in a Provençal garden: a soft, slightly cool gray-green with the matte velvet finish of pubescent silver leaf.

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.
