Lionhearted Stoa Forest

Old English lēona-heorte, lion's-heart — referring to Richard I Lionheart (1157–1199). As a color modifier, lionhearted implies a saturated-and-courageous-and-royal quality, the deep-rich color of Crusader-period English Plantagenet-royalty armorial bearings. Sits at the bold-and-chivalrous end of the grid, parallel to valiant and heroic.

Greek stoa, Greek-colonnaded-walkway. As a color modifier, stoa implies a Greek-and-Athens-colonnaded-walkway quality, the visual register of Athenian-Stoa-of-Attalos hand-built colonnaded-walkway-and-marketplace stoa-and-arcade-and-bouleuterion classical-Greek architectural surfaces under Athenian-Stoa-of-Attalos colonnaded-walkway light. Sits at the modifier-and-architecture end of the grid, parallel to agora and forum 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.
