Stamped Tirkizhna

#73eabb
Notes

Stamped Tirkizhna (#73EABB) is a true teal 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 (156°, 74%, 68%) 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

Stamped
adjective

Old English stempan, to stamp — past-participle of stamp. As a color modifier, stamped implies a clear-and-impressed-and-repeating quality, the crisp color of William-Morris-and-Liberty-of-London block-printed-textile carefully-impressed pattern. Sits at the crisp-and-printed end of the grid, parallel to printed and engraved in usage.

Tirkizhna
noun

The Slavic word for turquoise-colored — used across Russian, Ukrainian, and Polish color vocabulary for the saturated blue-green of Iranian and Central Asian turquoise. The color refers to a tirkizhna-glazed samovar: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the high gloss of fired ceramic.
