Cloaked Cōng

#2d4c0a
Notes

Cloaked Cōng (#2D4C0A) 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 (88°, 77%, 17%) 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

Cloaked
adjective

Old French cloque, bell-cloak — past-participle of cloak. As a color modifier, cloaked implies a deep-fabric-shrouded quality where the hue is muffled by an enveloping textile-darkness. Sits at the deep-and-fabric end of the grid, parallel to mantled and hooded in usage.

Cōng
noun

The Chinese word for scallion — and the bright yellow-green of fresh-cut scallion stalks. Cōnglǜ refers to the saturated lime-green of Chinese cooking and traditional textile color. The color refers to a fresh-sliced scallion: a saturated, slightly yellow-shifted green with the satin finish of cut allium tissue.

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.
