Replete Persian

#108f40
Notes

Replete Persian (#108F40) 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°, 80%, 31%) 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

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

Persian
noun

The blue-green of glazed Persian tile and ceramic — the firuze (turquoise) palette that frames Iranian architecture from Isfahan's Shah Mosque to the courtyard fountains of Yazd. The color refers to a polished Persian-tile color sample: a saturated, slightly muted blue-green with the high shine of fired glaze. Cooler than turquoise, warmer than cerulean, with the Islamic-architectural weight of a thousand-year tile tradition.
