Senatorial Akkad Forest

Latin senātōrius, of the senator — adjectival suffix. As a color modifier, senatorial implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Senate toga praetexta purple-bordered ceremonial-citizen-class livery. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to patrician and imperial.

Akkadian Akkadu, Akkad. As a color modifier, akkad implies a Sargon-and-Mesopotamian-Empire quality, the visual register of Akkadian-Empire-of-Sargon hand-built ziggurat-and-cuneiform-tablet bronze-age Mesopotamian-Imperial surfaces under Sargon-of-Akkad Mesopotamian Imperial-cuneiform sun-baked light. Sits at the modifier-and-cultural end of the grid, parallel to sumer and median 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.
