Abundant Uaine

#2a7906
Notes

Abundant Uaine (#2A7906) is a deep 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 (101°, 91%, 25%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. 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

Abundant
adjective

Latin abundāre, to overflow — present-participle of abound. As a color modifier, abundant implies a saturated-and-plentiful quality where the hue carries surplus visual richness beyond minimum requirement. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to plentiful and bountiful.

Uaine
noun

The Irish word for green — used in Éire uaine (green Ireland) and the Connacht uaine of Connaught county banners. Uaine names the saturated grass-green of Atlantic-coast Irish hillsides. The color refers to an Irish hillside in May: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the matte finish of well-watered Atlantic pasture.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
