Trim Jacinth

#73641f
Notes

Trim Jacinth (#73641F) is a deep amber with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (49°, 58%, 29%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary blue. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Trim
adjective

Old English trymman, to make firm — sharing root with firm. As a color modifier, trim implies a clear-and-neatly-arranged quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-edited surface-detail. Sits at the crisp-and-neat end of the grid, parallel to neat and tidy in usage.

Jacinth
noun

The yellow-orange variety of zircon — used in medieval European jewelry as a substitute for hessonite garnet. The name traces to the Greek hyakinthos, the same myth that gave the flower hyacinth its name. The color refers to a faceted Sri Lankan jacinth: a warm, slightly muted gold-orange with the gem's signature internal warmth.
