Regal Domus Forest

Latin rēgālis, kingly — derived from rēx (king). As a color modifier, regal implies a saturated-and-royal-formality quality, the deep-rich color of British-Coronation-period royal vestment-and-mantle and Imperial-State-Crown regalia. Sits at the bold-and-imperial end of the grid, parallel to sovereign and royal in usage.

Latin domus, house-or-home. As a color modifier, domus implies a Latin-house-and-Roman-domus-and-atrium quality, the visual register of Pompeian-domus-and-Roman-atrium hand-Latin-house-and-Roman-domus-and-atrium Pompeian-domus-and-Roman-atrium-and-impluvium domus-and-Latin-house surfaces under Pompeian-domus-and-Roman-atrium-and-impluvium Pompeian-and-Herculaneum-domus Roman-villa-light. Sits at the modifier-and-Latin end of the grid, parallel to arbor and via 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.
