Forest
Forest (#228B22) is a deep green with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (120°, 61%, 34%) 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. The deep green of dense forest canopy — also the CSS keyword 'ForestGreen' at the same hex. Named in the X11 color set in 1987, and descended from an older pigment name for this exact shade of deciduous-leaf green.
