Abundant Uaine

#248631
Notes

Abundant Uaine (#248631) 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 (128°, 58%, 33%) 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

Abundant
adjective

Latin abundāre, to overflow — present-participle of abound. As a color modifier, abundant implies a saturated-and-plentiful quality where the hue carries surplus visual richness beyond minimum requirement. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to plentiful and bountiful.

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.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
