Cleansed Jasmine
Cleansed Jasmine (#ECDA7F) is a soft amber with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (50°, 74%, 71%) 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 blue. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old English clǣnsian, to make clean — past-participle of cleanse. As a color modifier, cleansed implies a clear-and-purified quality where the hue has been stripped of any contaminating tint. Sits at the crisp-and-clear end of the grid, parallel to fresh and pristine in usage.
Asian Jasminum officinale — an Oleaceae twining-vine native to West-Asian-and-Mediterranean garden-and-trellis cultivation, with iconic pure-white fragrant tubular-flowers. Jasmine color refers to a freshly opened Jasminum officinale bloom in a Spanish-Andalusia terrace-garden: a pure white with the velvet finish of fresh fused-petaled tubular five-petal corolla with the characteristic jasmine-fragrance.
