Patrician Gleam Forest

Latin patrīcius, of the noble class — derived from pater (father). As a color modifier, patrician implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Patrician-class toga and senatorial-livery hereditary-aristocratic dress. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to senatorial and imperial.

Old English glǣm, brightness-or-shine. As a color modifier, gleam implies a low-and-glancing-and-bright quality, the visual register of polished-armor-and-river-water-gleam hand-polished-and-glancing-and-bright polished-armor-and-river-water-and-blade-edge gleamed-and-polished-and-glancing surfaces under polished-armor-and-river-water blade-edge-and-helm-and-shield medieval-tournament-light. Sits at the modifier-and-mood end of the grid, parallel to glint and sheen 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.
