Replete Hampton

#259839
Notes

Replete Hampton (#259839) is a true 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 (130°, 61%, 37%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

Hampton
noun

The English Tudor palace at Hampton Court — and the saturated green of its famous Hampton Court Maze, the oldest surviving hedge maze in the world (planted 1690). Hampton refers to a yew-hedge in the Hampton Court Maze: a deep, slightly cool dark green with the matte finish of densely clipped yew.
