Bountiful Amazon

#096e14
Notes

Bountiful Amazon (#096E14) 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 (127°, 85%, 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Amazon
noun

The largest river basin and rainforest on Earth — and the unifying deep green of Amazonian canopy seen from above. Amazon color refers to the average reflectance of an unbroken Amazon canopy: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of high-rainfall tropical foliage.
