Warm Tokiwa

#75ac72
Notes

Warm Tokiwa (#75AC72) 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 (117°, 26%, 56%) places it in the muted 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

Warm
adjective

Old English wearm, of moderate heat — used as a color modifier since the medieval period for hues that read as containing red, orange, or yellow undertones. Warm gray, warm white: not necessarily a temperature, but the optical impression of a slight red-orange shift. Sits across the crisp and neutral buckets.

Tokiwa
noun

Japanese for evergreen — literally eternal rock — used for the deep green of Pinus and Cryptomeria foliage that persists through winter. Tokiwa-iro signals stability and longevity in Japanese symbolic-color vocabulary. The color refers to a Japanese cedar in midwinter: a deep, slightly cool dark green with the matte finish of resin-coated needle foliage.
