Eclipsed Atoll

#0a3c19
Notes

Eclipsed Atoll (#0A3C19) 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 (138°, 71%, 14%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. 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

Eclipsed
adjective

Greek ékleipsis, abandonment — past-participle of eclipse. As a color modifier, eclipsed implies the deep occulting darkness of a celestial-body-blocked light-source, where umbral-and-penumbral shadows fall on the hue. Sits at the deep-and-cool end of the grid, parallel to occluded with astronomical connotation.

Atoll
noun

A ring-shaped coral reef enclosing a central lagoon — the geological signature of subsiding volcanic islands ringed by upward-growing coral. Atoll color refers to the unifying blue-green of a Maldivian-style atoll lagoon seen from above: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the optical clarity of shallow tropical water.
