Indomitable Brittany

#3a7e0b
Notes

Indomitable Brittany (#3A7E0B) is a deep lime 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 (95°, 84%, 27%) 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Indomitable
adjective

Latin indomitābilis, unconquerable — derived from domāre (to tame). As a color modifier, indomitable implies a saturated-and-unconquerable-and-fierce quality where the hue resists any attempt to subdue or modulate its presence. Sits at the bold-and-resilient end of the grid, parallel to unyielding and adamant.

Brittany
noun

The Celtic French peninsula — and the saturated green of Breton hillsides, triskel embroidery, and the Bretagne verte (green Brittany) of inland farmland. Brittany refers to a Breton hillside in spring: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of high-rainfall Atlantic pasture.

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.
