Rich Hunter

#137d0e
Notes

Rich Hunter (#137D0E) 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 (117°, 80%, 27%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Rich
adjective

Old French riche, wealthy, abundant — applied to color since the medieval period for hues that read as plentiful in pigment. Rich red, rich brown: the implication is depth combined with saturation, a color that gives the eye more to absorb. Sits at the saturated mid-light corner of the engine's grid, slightly warmer than bold and deeper than vivid.

Hunter
noun

A deep, slightly muted green named for the wool jackets worn by British and American sportsmen for shooting and hunting since the late nineteenth century — chosen for camouflage in temperate woodland. The color refers to the dye on a traditional hunter-green Barbour or tweed: a deep, slightly blue-shifted green with the matte finish of a heavyweight wool. Darker than forest, cooler than holly.

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.
