Abundant Sap
Abundant Sap (#2C660D) 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 (99°, 77%, 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
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.
The watery solution that moves through xylem and phloem in vascular plants — sugars, amino acids, ions, and the occasional alkaloid. The color refers to fresh-cut grass sap or unconcentrated maple sap: a clear, slightly yellow-green with the optical quality of plant fluid. Lighter than chartreuse, cooler than wheat, with the green-tinged clarity of liquid that has just stopped being living tissue.
