Vibrant Türkis

#7aee90
Notes

Vibrant Türkis (#7AEE90) is a soft 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 (131°, 77%, 71%) 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Vibrant
adjective

From the Latin vibrare, to shake — used as a color word since the seventeenth century for hues that read as alive and resonant. Vibrant orange, vibrant green: the implication is saturation combined with the optical impression of slight motion or energy. Sits at the bright-bucket center alongside vivid and lively.

Türkis
noun

The German word for turquoise — borrowed via medieval Italian turchese (Turkish stone). Used in German jewelry vocabulary for the saturated blue-green of Iranian and American Southwest turquoise. The color refers to a Sleeping Beauty türkis cabochon: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green. The Germanic cousin of turquoise.
