Patrician Venus Forest

Latin patrīcius, of the noble class — derived from pater (father). As a color modifier, patrician implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Patrician-class toga and senatorial-livery hereditary-aristocratic dress. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to senatorial and imperial.

Latin Venus, Roman-goddess-and-second-planet. As a color modifier, venus implies a Roman-goddess-and-second-planet-and-morning-evening-star quality, the visual register of Botticelli-Birth-of-Venus-and-Pompeii-fresco hand-Roman-goddess-and-second-planet-and-morning-evening-star Botticelli-Birth-of-Venus-and-Pompeii-fresco-and-Aphrodite-Hellenic venus-and-Roman-goddess-and-second-planet surfaces under Botticelli-Birth-of-Venus-and-Pompeii-fresco-and-Aphrodite-Hellenic Florentine-and-Pompeian dawn-and-dusk-evening-star-light. Sits at the modifier-and-zodiac end of the grid, parallel to jupiter and saturn 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.
