Triumphant Cabbage
Triumphant Cabbage (#20A73C) is a true 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 (132°, 68%, 39%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Latin triumphāns, celebrating victory — present-participle of triumphāre. As a color modifier, triumphant implies a saturated-and-celebratory-and-victorious quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Imperial-period triumphal-arch spolia relief and Arch-of-Titus victory imagery. Sits at the bold-and-celebratory end of the grid, parallel to victorious and conquering.
Brassica oleracea var. capitata — the head-forming cabbage cultivated since the medieval period across Europe and East Asia. Cabbage color refers to a fresh head of green Savoy cabbage: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the satin finish of crinkled cabbage leaf.

Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
This color is chromatic enough that authoring it as P3 native (instead of clamping to sRGB) gives a perceptibly more saturated render on wide-gamut displays — modern Macs, iPhones, iPads, and most recent OLED laptops.
