Majestic Pillar Forest

Latin māiestātis, majesty — adjectival suffix -ic. As a color modifier, majestic implies a saturated-and-imposing-grandeur quality, the deep-rich color of Salisbury-Cathedral-and-Chartres-Cathedral Gothic-architecture monumental presence against the open sky. Sits at the bold-and-imposing end of the grid, parallel to regal and imperial.

Latin pīla, pillar. As a color modifier, pillar implies a vertical-load-bearing-and-monumental quality, the visual register of Roman-and-Greek-and-Egyptian-Pillar hand-cut Doric-and-Ionic-and-Corinthian-Egyptian column-and-pillar monumental-architecture surfaces under classical-pillar monumental-architecture light. Sits at the modifier-and-architecture end of the grid, parallel to column and plinth 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.
