Glittering Tabbouleh

#98ee7f
Notes

Glittering Tabbouleh (#98EE7F) 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 (106°, 77%, 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.

Etymology

Glittering
adjective

Old Norse glitra, to shine — present-participle of glitter. As a color modifier, glittering implies a saturated-and-multi-point-reflective quality, the bright color of sequined-and-rhinestone fabric-and-gem-decoration surfaces. Sits at the bright-and-reflective end of the grid, parallel to sparkling and glistening in usage.

Tabbouleh
noun

The Levantine bulgur-and-parsley salad — primarily fresh flat-leaf parsley with mint, tomato, lemon, and olive oil — traditional across Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian mezze tables. Tabbouleh color refers to fresh-chopped parsley in a tabbouleh: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of chopped fresh parsley.
