Untroubled Hauyne

#c0e4cb
Notes

Untroubled Hauyne (#C0E4CB) 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 (138°, 40%, 82%) 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Untroubled
adjective

Latin turbāre, to disturb — negative-prefix un- plus past-participle of trouble. As a color modifier, untroubled implies a clear-and-calm-and-undisturbed quality where the hue carries no visual agitation. Sits at the crisp-and-calm end of the grid, parallel to serene and placid in usage.

Hauyne
noun

A blue-to-green variety of the lazurite mineral group — used in classical Egyptian and Mesoamerican blue pigments and modern fine jewelry. The color refers to a polished hauyne specimen: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the matte finish of sodium-aluminum silicate.
