Stamped Conure

#9fe19f
Notes

Stamped Conure (#9FE19F) 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 (120°, 52%, 75%) 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.

Sits at the crisp-and-printed end of the grid, parallel to printed and engraved in usage.

Conure
noun

The genus Pyrrhura and related green parrots of the South American mainland — popular pet birds with predominantly green plumage. Conure color refers to the green back of a green-cheeked conure (P. molinae): a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of carotenoid-and-structural feather color.
