Peridot

#b9d438

Notes

Peridot (#B9D438) is a true yellow with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (70°, 64%, 53%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel. Gem-quality olivine, formed deep in the Earth's mantle and brought up by volcanic eruption. Mined on Egypt's Zabargad Island for over 3,500 years; also arrives in meteorites.
