Replete Verdelite

#1e7321
Notes

Replete Verdelite (#1E7321) is a deep green with a cool character. It leans cool, sitting on the blue, green, and violet side of the wheel. Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (122°, 59%, 28%) 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

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.

Verdelite
noun

A trade synonym for green tourmaline — used to distinguish chromium-rich tourmaline from rubellite (red) and indicolite (blue). Mined principally in Brazil, Mozambique, and Maine. The color refers to a faceted Brazilian verdelite: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the gem's signature internal warmth.
