Replete Iceland

#186501
Notes

Replete Iceland (#186501) 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 (106°, 98%, 20%) 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

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.

Iceland
noun

The North Atlantic island — and the saturated green of Icelandic mossy lava fields and the þúfur (hummocky) tussocks of Icelandic farmland. Iceland refers to an Icelandic moss-covered lava field: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the slightly velvet matte finish of dense mossy undergrowth.

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.
