Abundant Artemisia

#019d5d
Notes

Abundant Artemisia (#019D5D) is a deep teal with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (155°, 99%, 31%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark 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 magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Abundant
adjective

Latin abundāre, to overflow — present-participle of abound. As a color modifier, abundant implies a saturated-and-plentiful quality where the hue carries surplus visual richness beyond minimum requirement. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to plentiful and bountiful.

Artemisia
noun

The genus Artemisia — sage-and-wormwood-and-mugwort relatives whose silver-green leaves define Mediterranean dry-garden landscaping. The color refers to a fresh Artemisia ludoviciana cultivated in a Provençal garden: a soft, slightly cool gray-green with the matte velvet finish of pubescent silver leaf.
