Untroubled Ciliegia

#d8afcc
Notes

Untroubled Ciliegia (#D8AFCC) is a soft magenta 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 (318°, 34%, 77%) 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 green. 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.

Ciliegia
noun

Italian for cherry (Prunus avium) — the deep-red-purple drupe of European sweet cherry, the iconic summer fruit of Tuscan and Apennine hill country. Ciliegia color refers to a freshly picked Prunus avium drupe-cluster from a Romagna orchard: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the glossy finish of anthocyanin-rich cherry skin against pale flesh. Warmer than French cerise.
