Stripped Senecio

#7cfade
Notes

Stripped Senecio (#7CFADE) is a soft teal 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 (167°, 93%, 73%) 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 red. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Stripped
adjective

Old English stripian, to strip — past-participle of strip. As a color modifier, stripped implies a clear-and-bared-and-unornamented quality, the crisp color of Cistercian-and-Bauhaus anti-ornamental stripped-down architectural interior. Sits at the crisp-and-stripped end of the grid, parallel to spare and bare in usage.

Senecio
noun

The genus Senecio — particularly the silver-leaved succulents (S. cineraria, S. mandraliscae) used in Mediterranean and California gardens. The color refers to fresh Senecio cineraria foliage: a soft, slightly cool pale silver-green with the matte velvet finish of dense leaf hair.
