Bountiful Uaine

#228024
Notes

Bountiful Uaine (#228024) 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 (121°, 58%, 32%) 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.

Uaine
noun

The Irish word for green — used in Éire uaine (green Ireland) and the Connacht uaine of Connaught county banners. Uaine names the saturated grass-green of Atlantic-coast Irish hillsides. The color refers to an Irish hillside in May: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the matte finish of well-watered Atlantic pasture.
