Aflame Tundra

#93ee82
Notes

Aflame Tundra (#93EE82) 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 (111°, 76%, 72%) places it in the highly saturated band at a light lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. 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.

Old English on-flamme, on-fire. As a color modifier, aflame implies a saturated-and-burning-bright quality, the bright color of autumn-Maple-and-Oak peak-color deciduous-foliage and Bonfire-Night large-flame fire emission. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to flaming and blazing in usage.

Tundra
noun

The treeless biome of arctic and subarctic regions — characterized by short summer growing seasons, permafrost, and dwarf woody plants. Tundra color refers to a Yukon tundra landscape in midsummer: a soft, slightly muted deep yellow-green with the matte finish of low-stature Vaccinium and Salix shrubs.
