Replete Connacht

#277c20
Notes

Replete Connacht (#277C20) 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 (115°, 59%, 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.

Connacht
noun

The western Irish province — and the saturated deep green of Connacht hillsides, the Tuath Dé Connacht mythological homeland, and the green-and-white provincial banner. Connacht refers to a County Galway hillside in May: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of Atlantic-coast pasture.
