Vibrant Cilantro

#7dc35f
Notes

Vibrant Cilantro (#7DC35F) 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 (102°, 45%, 57%) 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

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.

Cilantro
noun

Coriandrum sativum, the Mediterranean and Mesoamerican herb essential to Mexican, Indian, and Southeast Asian cooking. The leaves are cilantro; the seeds are coriander. The color refers to fresh-chopped cilantro leaves: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the satin finish of soft umbelliferous leaf.
