Jazzed Pine

#93e091
Notes

Jazzed Pine (#93E091) is a soft 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 (118°, 56%, 72%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Jazzed
adjective

American slang jazz, liveliness — past-participle of jazz. As a color modifier, jazzed implies a saturated-and-excited-and-active quality, the bright color of American-Jazz-Age poster-and-album-cover saturated-and-rhythmic graphic-design. Sits at the bright-and-active end of the grid, parallel to caffeinated and wired in usage.

Pine
noun

The genus Pinus, conifers spread across nearly every continent — white, ponderosa, Scots, sugar — distinguished from spruce by needle clusters bound at the base. The color refers to mature pine needles in late summer: a saturated, slightly muted green with the resinous warmth of pine oil. Deeper than spruce, warmer than fir, with the unmistakable association of a forest where the ground is bare but the canopy never empties.

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.
