Aligned Sumatra

#76bb6f
Notes

Aligned Sumatra (#76BB6F) 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 (114°, 36%, 58%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Aligned
adjective

French à-ligne, to-line-up — past-participle of align. As a color modifier, aligned implies a clear-and-axis-coordinated quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-parallel-arranged elements. Sits at the crisp-and-balanced end of the grid, parallel to symmetrical and squared in usage.

Sumatra
noun

The Indonesian island — home to the Sumatran orangutan, tiger, and rhinoceros — and the deep green of Sumatran rainforest and Coffea arabica coffee plantations. Sumatra color refers to a Sumatran highland coffee plantation: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of broad-leaved coffee shrubs.
