Fizzy Echeveria

#7cdc86
Notes

Fizzy Echeveria (#7CDC86) is a true 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 (126°, 58%, 67%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Fizzy
adjective

Imitative-onomatopoeic origin — adjectival suffix -y, evoking the sound of carbonation. As a color modifier, fizzy implies a saturated-and-effervescent-and-bubbly quality, the bright color of Champagne-and-Prosecco effervescent-wine carbonation-bubble-light reflection. Sits at the bright-and-effervescent end of the grid, parallel to bubbly and sparkling in usage.

Echeveria
noun

The genus Echeveria — Mexican rosette-forming succulents named for the eighteenth-century botanical illustrator Atanasio Echeverría y Godoy. Cultivated globally as ornamental plants for their geometric blue-green form. The color refers to a fresh Echeveria elegans rosette: a soft, slightly cool silver-green-blue with the matte velvet finish of waxy succulent leaves.

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.
