Inflamed Glas

#7cb33c
Notes

Inflamed Glas (#7CB33C) is a true lime with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (88°, 50%, 47%) places it in the balanced 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Inflamed
adjective

Latin inflammātus, set on fire — past-participle of inflame. As a color modifier, inflamed implies a saturated-and-irritated-hot quality, the bright color of sun-burnt-skin and autumn-leaf high-anthocyanin pigmentation. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to fiery and flaming in usage.

Glas
noun

The Welsh word for green — though historically Welsh glas spans the green-blue spectrum, including the gray of stormy seas and slate. Glas Cymru (Welsh-green) refers to the saturated green of Welsh hillsides in spring. The color refers to a Welsh hill in May: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the matte finish of fresh grass.

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.
