Replete Limed Forest

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.

Old English līm, lime. As a color modifier, limed implies a lime-washed-and-whitened quality, the visual register of Andalusian-and-Mediterranean-limewashed hand-limed-and-whitewashed stone-and-stucco-and-timber Andalusian-and-Mediterranean-limewashed surfaces under Andalusian-and-Mediterranean lime-washed-and-whitened light. Sits at the modifier-and-texture end of the grid, parallel to mossed and pitted 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.
