Knightly Mage Forest

Old English cniht, young man / knight — adjectival suffix -ly. As a color modifier, knightly implies a saturated-and-chivalrous-and-medieval quality, the deep-rich color of medieval-English-and-French knight-and-squire armorial-bearings-and-livery tradition. Sits at the bold-and-chivalrous end of the grid, parallel to gallant and cavalier.

Latin magus, wise-man / magician. As a color modifier, mage implies a Persian-magus-and-medieval-wizard quality, the visual register of Persian-Magus-and-medieval-European-Wizard hand-spell-cast pointed-hat-and-staff-and-grimoire wise-man-and-magician surfaces under Persian-Magus-and-medieval-European-Wizard hand-spell-cast-and-grimoire candlelit-tower light. Sits at the modifier-and-cultural end of the grid, parallel to druid and bard 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.
