Forceful Lorikeet

#0c7123
Notes

Forceful Lorikeet (#0C7123) 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 (134°, 81%, 25%) 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

Forceful
adjective

Old French force, strength — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, forceful implies a saturated-and-vigorous quality where the hue exerts visual force on its substrate. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to mighty and commanding in tone.

Lorikeet
noun

The subfamily Loriinae — Australasian rainbow lorikeets and their relatives, brush-tongued nectar-feeding parrots with vivid multicolored plumage. Lorikeet color refers to the green wing covers of Trichoglossus moluccanus: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the satin finish of structural-pigment feather color.

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.
