Replete Normandy

#33970d
Notes

Replete Normandy (#33970D) is a deep green 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 (103°, 84%, 32%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

Normandy
noun

The French northwestern region — and the saturated green of Pays d'Auge apple-orchard country and the rolling green hills of the bocage Normand. Normandy refers to a Norman countryside in late spring: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of well-watered dairy pasture.
