Abundant Night Forest

Latin abundāre, to overflow — present-participle of abound. As a color modifier, abundant implies a saturated-and-plentiful quality where the hue carries surplus visual richness beyond minimum requirement. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to plentiful and bountiful.

Old English niht, darkness-and-sleep. As a color modifier, night implies a moonlit-or-star-lit-dark quality, the visual register of clear-sky moonlit-and-star-lit atmospheric Rayleigh-scattered low-light surfaces against deep blue-black night-sky horizon. Sits at the modifier-and-time end of the grid, parallel to eve and yore 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.
