Scottish-Gaelic clann, children / family. As a color modifier, clan implies a Highland-Scottish-kinship quality, the visual register of Scottish-Highland-Clan Highland-and-Lowland hand-woven tartan-and-kilt-and-broadsword clan-and-kinship surfaces under Highland-Scottish-clan tartan-and-kilt-and-pipe-band Highland-pasture light.

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.
