Easy Glassy

#acceb4
Notes

Easy Glassy (#ACCEB4) 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 (134°, 26%, 74%) places it in the muted 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Easy
adjective

Old French aisié, comfortable, at rest — used as a color modifier since the eighteenth century for hues that read as visually undemanding. Easy beige, easy gray: moderate saturation combined with optical restfulness. Sits at the crisp-bucket center alongside calm and settled.

Glassy
noun

A descriptor for very calm water surface — used in maritime vocabulary for sea conditions when wind is below 1 knot and the surface reflects like polished glass. Glassy color refers to a glassy-calm tropical lagoon at dawn: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the mirror-finish optical complexity of unbroken water.
