Lionhearted Mass Forest

Old English lēona-heorte, lion's-heart — referring to Richard I Lionheart (1157–1199). As a color modifier, lionhearted implies a saturated-and-courageous-and-royal quality, the deep-rich color of Crusader-period English Plantagenet-royalty armorial bearings. Sits at the bold-and-chivalrous end of the grid, parallel to valiant and heroic.

Latin missa, Mass-of-the-Eucharist. As a color modifier, mass implies a Eucharistic-and-liturgical-feast quality, the visual register of Roman-Catholic-and-Anglican-Mass Eucharistic-and-liturgical-feast altar-and-vestment-and-incense liturgical-Mass surfaces under Mass-and-Eucharistic-feast altar-candle-and-incense light. Sits at the modifier-and-time end of the grid, parallel to vigil and vesper 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.
