Patrician Hun Forest

Latin patrīcius, of the noble class — derived from pater (father). As a color modifier, patrician implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Patrician-class toga and senatorial-livery hereditary-aristocratic dress. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to senatorial and imperial.

Greek Hunni, Huns. As a color modifier, hun implies a Central-Asian-steppe-migration quality, the visual register of Attila-the-Hun late-Roman-period Central-Asian steppe-migration-and-mounted-archery hand-built warrior-camp surfaces under Central-Asian-steppe-and-Pannonian-plain Hunnic-Age horse-archer light. Sits at the modifier-and-cultural end of the grid, parallel to vandal and goth in usage.

The dense canopy of a temperate or tropical woodland — oak, beech, pine, eucalyptus, mahogany — wherever leaves close above to filter the light below. Forest green refers to the average reflectance of a healthy mid-summer canopy seen from below: a saturated, slightly muted green with the matte finish of layered chlorophyll. Deeper than fern, cooler than olive, with the ecological weight of a word that has named every wooded biome on Earth.
