Untroubled Lorikeet

#94c990
Notes

Untroubled Lorikeet (#94C990) is a true 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 (116°, 35%, 68%) 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 violet. 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.

Lorikeet
noun

The subfamily Loriinae — Australasian rainbow lorikeets and their relatives, brush-tongued nectar-feeding parrots with vivid multicolored plumage. Lorikeet color refers to the green wing covers of Trichoglossus moluccanus: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the satin finish of structural-pigment feather color.
