Plentiful Sardinia

#0b8f3d
Notes

Plentiful Sardinia (#0B8F3D) 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 (143°, 86%, 30%) 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.

Sardinia
noun

The Italian Mediterranean island — and the saturated turquoise of Sardinian Costa Smeralda (Emerald Coast) at Cala di Volpe and Spiaggia del Principe. Sardinia refers to a Costa Smeralda lagoon: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the optical clarity of cold Mediterranean water.

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.
