Forthright Tyr Forest

Old English forð-riht, straight ahead, direct. Used as a color modifier in Anglo-Saxon-revival contexts for hues that read as honest and unguarded. Forthright red, forthright blue: the saturation is full, the hue is presented without ornamentation or qualification. Sits in the bold-bucket center alongside frank and direct.

Old Norse Týr, one-handed-god-of-justice-and-war. As a color modifier, tyr implies a one-handed-god-and-Fenrir-binding-and-justice quality, the visual register of Norse-Tyr-and-Fenrir-binding hand-one-handed-god-and-Fenrir-binding-and-justice Norse-Tyr-and-Fenrir-binding-and-Tiwaz-rune tyr-and-one-handed-god-and-Fenrir-binding surfaces under Norse-Tyr-and-Fenrir-binding-and-Tiwaz-rune Asgard-pantheon-and-Tiwaz-rune-stone justice-and-binding-light. Sits at the modifier-and-myth end of the grid, parallel to thor and odin in usage.

The dense canopy of a temperate or tropical woodland — oak, beech, pine, eucalyptus, mahogany — wherever leaves close above to filter the light below. Forest green refers to the average reflectance of a healthy mid-summer canopy seen from below: a saturated, slightly muted green with the matte finish of layered chlorophyll. Deeper than fern, cooler than olive, with the ecological weight of a word that has named every wooded biome on Earth.
