Plentiful Libra Forest

#126013
Notes

Plentiful Libra Forest (#126013) 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 (121°, 68%, 22%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary violet. 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.

Libra
modifier

Latin libra, scales-of-the-zodiac. As a color modifier, libra implies a scales-and-air-sign-and-Venus-ruled-cardinal-air quality, the visual register of Roman-Libra-and-scales-of-justice hand-scales-and-air-sign-and-Venus-ruled-cardinal-air Roman-Libra-and-scales-of-justice-and-Themis-Astraea libra-and-scales-and-air-sign surfaces under Roman-Libra-and-scales-of-justice-and-Themis-Astraea autumn-equinox-and-September-and-October cardinal-air-sign-light. Sits at the modifier-and-zodiac end of the grid, parallel to virgo and scorpio in usage.

Forest
noun

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.

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.
