Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (114°, 56%, 29%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness.

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.

Tundra
noun

The treeless biome of arctic and subarctic regions — characterized by short summer growing seasons, permafrost, and dwarf woody plants. Tundra color refers to a Yukon tundra landscape in midsummer: a soft, slightly muted deep yellow-green with the matte finish of low-stature Vaccinium and Salix shrubs.
