Bountiful Borneo

#1c7d19
Notes

Bountiful Borneo (#1C7D19) 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 (118°, 67%, 29%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Borneo
noun

The Southeast Asian island — and the saturated deep green of Borneo rainforest, home to one of the world's three remaining great-ape populations (Pongo pygmaeus, the Bornean orangutan). Borneo color refers to a Sarawak jungle canopy: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of dense tropical foliage.
