Tidy Nepal
Tidy Nepal (#ADE29E) 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 (107°, 54%, 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.
Etymology
Old English tidig, timely — drifted in modern English to mean neat, orderly. Used as a color modifier for hues that read as composed and unfussy. Tidy beige, tidy gray: moderate saturation combined with optical neatness. Sits at the crisp-bucket alongside plain and modest.
The Himalayan kingdom — and the terraced green of Nepalese rice and millet farms climbing the Annapurna foothills. Nepal color refers to a Pokhara terraced farm in monsoon season: a saturated, slightly yellow yellow-green with the matte finish of mid-altitude paddy.
