Untroubled Bali

#9fb690
Notes

Untroubled Bali (#9FB690) is a true lime 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 (96°, 21%, 64%) places it in the muted 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 indigo. 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.

Bali
noun

The Indonesian island — and the saturated green of Bali's terraced rice paddies (sawah) at the height of the wet season. Bali color refers to a Balinese terraced paddy in March: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the optical brightness of flooded young rice plants.
