Fiery Tabbouleh

#b3f697
Notes

Fiery Tabbouleh (#B3F697) is a soft green with a pastel character. It reads calm and airy, with enough chroma to feel intentional rather than washed out. Its HSL profile (102°, 84%, 78%) 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

Fiery
adjective

Old English fȳr, fire — adjectival suffix -y. As a color modifier, fiery implies a saturated-and-bright-flaming quality, the bright color of autumn-foliage fall-color and forge-furnace hot-iron emission. Sits at the bright-and-warm end of the grid, parallel to flaming and blazing in usage.

Tabbouleh
noun

The Levantine bulgur-and-parsley salad — primarily fresh flat-leaf parsley with mint, tomato, lemon, and olive oil — traditional across Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian mezze tables. Tabbouleh color refers to fresh-chopped parsley in a tabbouleh: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of chopped fresh parsley.

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.
