Replete Heath

#277b24
Notes

Replete Heath (#277B24) is a deep green with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (118°, 55%, 31%) 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

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.

Heath
noun

An open uncultivated land covered by heather (Calluna), gorse (Ulex), and grass — particularly the lowland heaths of southern England. Heath color refers to a Surrey heath in early summer: a soft, slightly muted deep yellow-green with the matte finish of woody-and-grass undergrowth.
