Untroubled Juno Mint

#91edb8
Notes

Untroubled Juno Mint (#91EDB8) 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 (145°, 72%, 75%) places it in the balanced band at a light lightness. It works as a background wash, large-area fill, or soft illustration tone. Add a darker ink of the same hue when you need type over it. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Untroubled
adjective

Latin turbāre, to disturb — negative-prefix un- plus past-participle of trouble. As a color modifier, untroubled implies a clear-and-calm-and-undisturbed quality where the hue carries no visual agitation. Sits at the crisp-and-calm end of the grid, parallel to serene and placid in usage.

Juno
modifier

Latin Juno, Roman-queen-of-gods. As a color modifier, juno implies an asteroid-and-queen-of-gods quality, the visual register of Juno-asteroid-and-Roman-queen hand-asteroid-and-queen-of-gods Juno-asteroid-and-Roman-queen-and-Jupiter-mission juno-and-asteroid-and-queen-of-gods surfaces under Juno-asteroid-and-Roman-queen-and-Jupiter-mission asteroid-belt-and-Roman-temple ancient-pantheon-light. Sits at the modifier-and-cosmic end of the grid, parallel to ceres and vesta in usage.

Mint
noun

The genus Mentha — peppermint, spearmint, apple mint, water mint — the cooling herb whose menthol gives it that quality at the molecular level. The color refers to fresh peppermint leaves before drying: a clean, slightly cool green with the matte finish of trichome-rich leaf surface. Lighter than basil, cooler than parsley, with the mojito-and-Pimm's association of a herb tied to summer drinks across two continents.
