Plentiful Odin Emerald

#19920f
Notes

Plentiful Odin Emerald (#19920F) 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 (115°, 81%, 32%) 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

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Odin
modifier

Old Norse Óðinn, all-father-of-the-Aesir. As a color modifier, odin implies a one-eyed-and-raven-and-runic-wisdom quality, the visual register of Norse-all-father-Odin-and-Yggdrasil hand-one-eyed-and-raven-and-runic-wisdom Norse-all-father-Odin-and-Yggdrasil-and-Asgard odin-and-one-eyed-and-raven-and-runic-wisdom surfaces under Norse-all-father-Odin-and-Yggdrasil-and-Asgard Hugin-and-Munin-raven-and-Mimir-well runic-wisdom-light. Sits at the modifier-and-myth end of the grid, parallel to thor and freya in usage.

Emerald
noun

A chromium-tinged variety of beryl — the gemstone mined from the Cleopatra-era Mons Smaragdus in Egypt, the Muzo deposits of Colombia, and the Sandawana mines of Zimbabwe. Emerald green refers to a high-clarity faceted emerald with strong color saturation: a saturated, slightly blue-shifted green with the gem's signature internal life. Cooler than fern, warmer than teal, with the heraldic weight of two thousand years of royal favor.
