Aglow Verde

#a7f38b
Notes

Aglow Verde (#A7F38B) 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 (104°, 81%, 75%) 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

Aglow
adjective

Old English on-glōwan, on-glow — sharing root with glow and gleam. As a color modifier, aglow implies a saturated-and-lit-from-within quality, the bright color of fireplace-and-jack-o-lantern interior-glow-lit warm-light emission against ambient darkness. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to glowing and aflame in usage.

Verde
noun

Spanish and Italian for green, borrowed into English as part of culinary and art-historical compounds: salsa verde, verde antico, Veronese verde. The color refers to a generic mid-saturation green without strong yellow or blue shift — the green of a Renaissance pigment-shop label, a Tuscan parsley sauce, or the patinated copper of a Roman bronze. Less specific than sage, less cool than mint.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
