Grounded Udaipur
Grounded Udaipur (#786DF7) is a true blue 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 (245°, 90%, 70%) 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 yellow. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old English grund, bottom / foundation — past-participle of ground. As a color modifier, grounded implies a saturated-and-foundational quality where the hue anchors the surrounding palette through its weighty presence. Sits at the bold-and-balanced end of the grid, parallel to centered and anchored.
The Rajput City of Lakes in Mewar, Rajasthan — home of the Mewar court whose miniature paintings used ultramarine (powdered Afghan lapis) and indigo for the deep skies and royal robes. Udaipur color refers to a Mewar-school 17th-century miniature's lapis-and-indigo sky field: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the matte finish of mineral ultramarine on hand-prepared vasli paper.
