Settled Jaipur

#7e7fa4
Notes

Settled Jaipur (#7E7FA4) is a true blue 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 (238°, 17%, 57%) places it in the muted 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 yellow. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Settled
adjective

The past participle of settle, to come to rest — used as a color modifier since the seventeenth century for hues that read as stabilized after a process. Settled green, settled brown: moderate saturation combined with optical permanence. Sits at the crisp-bucket alongside steady and composed.

Jaipur
noun

The Indian Pink City of Rajasthan, capital of the former Jaipur State of the Rajputana — historical depot for the lapis lazuli trade between Afghanistan and the courts of Hindustan, and home of Sanganeri indigo block-printing. Jaipur color refers to a Sanganeri-block-printed muslin: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the matte finish of multi-bath fermentation indigo on hand-printed cotton.
