Spotless Glas

#c2f29c
Notes

Spotless Glas (#C2F29C) is a soft lime with a pastel character. It reads calm and airy, with enough chroma to feel intentional rather than washed out. Its HSL profile (93°, 77%, 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Spotless
adjective

Old English spott (spot) plus suffix -less. As a color modifier, spotless implies a clear-and-unmarked quality where the hue carries no contaminating speck or stain. Sits at the crisp-and-clean end of the grid, parallel to pristine and unblemished in usage.

Glas
noun

The Welsh word for green — though historically Welsh glas spans the green-blue spectrum, including the gray of stormy seas and slate. Glas Cymru (Welsh-green) refers to the saturated green of Welsh hillsides in spring. The color refers to a Welsh hill in May: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the matte finish of fresh grass.
