#144b15
Notes

Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (121°, 58%, 19%) 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.

Etymology

Hollowed
adjective

Old English holh, hollow — past-participle of hollow. As a color modifier, hollowed implies the deep-and-cavernous-and-architectural quality of carved-out-cave-and-tunnel interior, particularly the Cappadocian and Lalibela hand-carved rock-cut churches and underground cities. Sits at the deep-and-architectural end of the grid, parallel to cavernous with hand-carved register.

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.
