Assured Hunter

#348a31
Notes

Assured Hunter (#348A31) 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 (118°, 48%, 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Assured
adjective

Old French aseürer, to give assurance — past-participle of assure. As a color modifier, assured implies a saturated-and-confident quality where the hue carries unwavering certainty about its own visual identity. Sits at the bold-and-confident end of the grid, parallel to certain and poised.

Hunter
noun

A deep, slightly muted green named for the wool jackets worn by British and American sportsmen for shooting and hunting since the late nineteenth century — chosen for camouflage in temperate woodland. The color refers to the dye on a traditional hunter-green Barbour or tweed: a deep, slightly blue-shifted green with the matte finish of a heavyweight wool. Darker than forest, cooler than holly.
