Patrician Plot Forest

Latin patrīcius, of the noble class — derived from pater (father). As a color modifier, patrician implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Patrician-class toga and senatorial-livery hereditary-aristocratic dress. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to senatorial and imperial.

Old English plot, small-piece-of-ground. As a color modifier, plot implies a tilled-garden-bed quality, the visual register of English-cottage-garden-and-allotment hand-tilled-and-cultivated small market-garden vegetable-bed surfaces under English-cottage-garden-and-allotment summer-tilling light. Sits at the modifier-and-place end of the grid, parallel to yard and garden 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.
