Lined Mykonos

#76f7fc
Notes

Lined Mykonos (#76F7FC) is a soft cyan 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 (182°, 96%, 73%) places it in the highly saturated band at a light lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary red. 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.

Mykonos
noun

The Cycladic island — and the saturated blue of Mykonos's painted shutters and the deep Aegean water around Paradise Beach. Mykonos color refers to a Mykonos painted-shutter blue: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue with the matte finish of weathered limewash-and-cobalt paint.
