Bright Tabbouleh

#77a911
Notes

Bright Tabbouleh (#77A911) is a true lime with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (80°, 82%, 36%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Bright
adjective

Old English beorht, shining, luminous — cognate with the German Bracht, splendor. Applied to color since at least the medieval period for hues that read as luminous: not just light in value but optically active, as if scattering more light back than a dimmer color of the same lightness would. Sits at the bright-bucket center alongside vivid and brilliant.

Tabbouleh
noun

The Levantine bulgur-and-parsley salad — primarily fresh flat-leaf parsley with mint, tomato, lemon, and olive oil — traditional across Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian mezze tables. Tabbouleh color refers to fresh-chopped parsley in a tabbouleh: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of chopped fresh parsley.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
