Bountiful Harīta

#2caa08
Notes

Bountiful Harīta (#2CAA08) is a true 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 (107°, 91%, 35%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid 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

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Harīta
noun

The Sanskrit word for yellow-green — used in classical Vedic texts for the green of Phyllanthus emblica (haritaki — Indian gooseberry) and the saffron-yellow-green of monsoon rice paddies. The color refers to a Vedic harīta description of new monsoon rice: a saturated, slightly yellow-green with the matte finish of fresh South Asian paddy.
