Neat Jaipur

#7a7eb5
Notes

Neat Jaipur (#7A7EB5) 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 (236°, 29%, 59%) 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 yellow. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Neat
adjective

Old French net, clean / pure — sharing root with Latin nitidus. As a color modifier, neat implies a clear-and-orderly quality where the hue carries the well-arranged visual register without clutter or excess. Sits at the crisp-and-orderly end of the grid, parallel to trim and tidy in usage.

Jaipur
noun

The Indian Pink City of Rajasthan, capital of the former Jaipur State of the Rajputana — historical depot for the lapis lazuli trade between Afghanistan and the courts of Hindustan, and home of Sanganeri indigo block-printing. Jaipur color refers to a Sanganeri-block-printed muslin: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the matte finish of multi-bath fermentation indigo on hand-printed cotton.
