Replete Romaine

#2b7400
Notes

Replete Romaine (#2B7400) is a deep lime 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 (98°, 100%, 23%) 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 indigo. 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.

Romaine
noun

Lactuca sativa var. longifolia, the upright lettuce variety whose tall green-and-white heads are essential to Caesar salad. Named for Rome, where the Romans cultivated it for European salad tradition. The color refers to a fresh romaine leaf: a soft, slightly cool yellow-green with the satin finish of dewy lettuce.

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.
