Spotless Verde

#7fad60
Notes

Spotless Verde (#7FAD60) is a true lime 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 (96°, 32%, 53%) 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

Spotless
adjective

Old English spott (spot) plus suffix -less. As a color modifier, spotless implies a clear-and-unmarked quality where the hue carries no contaminating speck or stain. Sits at the crisp-and-clean end of the grid, parallel to pristine and unblemished in usage.

Verde
noun

Spanish and Italian for green, borrowed into English as part of culinary and art-historical compounds: salsa verde, verde antico, Veronese verde. The color refers to a generic mid-saturation green without strong yellow or blue shift — the green of a Renaissance pigment-shop label, a Tuscan parsley sauce, or the patinated copper of a Roman bronze. Less specific than sage, less cool than mint.

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.
