Robust Magnus Forest

From the Latin robustus, of oak — implying strength combined with substance. As a color modifier, robust describes saturation combined with body: a robust burgundy, a robust olive. Sits in the bold-and-warm corner alongside strong and solid, with the slightly textural implication of a color that has substance behind the pigment.

Latin magnus, great-or-large. As a color modifier, magnus implies a Latin-great-and-Albertus-Magnus-and-Magna-Carta quality, the visual register of Albertus-Magnus-and-Magna-Carta-magnus hand-Latin-great-and-Albertus-Magnus-and-Magna-Carta Albertus-Magnus-and-Magna-Carta-and-Charlemagne-Carolus-Magnus magnus-and-Latin-great surfaces under Albertus-Magnus-and-Magna-Carta-and-Charlemagne-Carolus-Magnus Cologne-cathedral-and-Runnymede-meadow medieval-Latin-light. Sits at the modifier-and-Latin end of the grid, parallel to opus and virtus 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.
