Plentiful Kona

#308c46
Notes

Plentiful Kona (#308C46) is a true green with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (134°, 49%, 37%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary magenta. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Kona
noun

The leeward (western) coast of the Big Island of Hawaii — and the deep blue-green of Kona's Kealakekua Bay and Honaunau coves. Kona color refers to the bay water at midday: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the optical clarity of cold Pacific water against volcanic black-sand beaches.

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.
