Rich Tabbouleh
Rich Tabbouleh (#2E7721) is a deep green with a cool character. It leans cool, sitting on the blue, green, and violet side of the wheel. Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (111°, 57%, 30%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. 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
Old French riche, wealthy, abundant — applied to color since the medieval period for hues that read as plentiful in pigment. Rich red, rich brown: the implication is depth combined with saturation, a color that gives the eye more to absorb. Sits at the saturated mid-light corner of the engine's grid, slightly warmer than bold and deeper than vivid.
The Levantine bulgur-and-parsley salad — primarily fresh flat-leaf parsley with mint, tomato, lemon, and olive oil — traditional across Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian mezze tables. Tabbouleh color refers to fresh-chopped parsley in a tabbouleh: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of chopped fresh parsley.
