Plentiful Türkis

#037430
Notes

Plentiful Türkis (#037430) is a deep green 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 (144°, 95%, 23%) 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

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Türkis
noun

The German word for turquoise — borrowed via medieval Italian turchese (Turkish stone). Used in German jewelry vocabulary for the saturated blue-green of Iranian and American Southwest turquoise. The color refers to a Sleeping Beauty türkis cabochon: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green. The Germanic cousin of turquoise.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
