Stripped Mojito

#dffdca
Notes

Stripped Mojito (#DFFDCA) 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 (95°, 93%, 89%) 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

Stripped
adjective

Old English stripian, to strip — past-participle of strip. As a color modifier, stripped implies a clear-and-bared-and-unornamented quality, the crisp color of Cistercian-and-Bauhaus anti-ornamental stripped-down architectural interior. Sits at the crisp-and-stripped end of the grid, parallel to spare and bare in usage.

Mojito
noun

The Cuban cocktail of rum, lime, mint, sugar, and soda — popularized by Hemingway in Old Man and the Sea settings. Mojito color refers to a fresh-shaken mojito with crushed mint: a soft, slightly cool yellow-green with the optical clarity of muddled-herb-and-spirits.
