Plentiful Sumatra

#236d08
Notes

Plentiful Sumatra (#236D08) is a deep green with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (104°, 86%, 23%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. 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

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Sumatra
noun

The Indonesian island — home to the Sumatran orangutan, tiger, and rhinoceros — and the deep green of Sumatran rainforest and Coffea arabica coffee plantations. Sumatra color refers to a Sumatran highland coffee plantation: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of broad-leaved coffee shrubs.
