Thyme

Thyme (#8A9A5B) is a true lime with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (75°, 26%, 48%) 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. The muted olive of wild thyme on dry hillsides, stripped down to essentials by summer drought. Egyptians used it in embalming; Greeks burned it as incense.
