Replete Artemisia

#1a8d4f
Notes

Replete Artemisia (#1A8D4F) is a deep teal 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 (148°, 69%, 33%) 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. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary magenta. 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.

Artemisia
noun

The genus Artemisia — sage-and-wormwood-and-mugwort relatives whose silver-green leaves define Mediterranean dry-garden landscaping. The color refers to a fresh Artemisia ludoviciana cultivated in a Provençal garden: a soft, slightly cool gray-green with the matte velvet finish of pubescent silver leaf.
