Bastioned Unda Forest

Italian bastionato, fortified-with-bastions — past-participle of bastion, derived from bastia (fortified-tower). As a color modifier, bastioned implies a saturated-and-fortified-and-projecting quality, the deep-rich color of Vauban-period military-fortress star-fort projecting-bastion stone-architecture. Sits at the bold-and-fortified end of the grid, parallel to fortified and buttressed.

Latin unda, wave-or-water. As a color modifier, unda implies a Latin-wave-and-water-and-Roman-aqueduct quality, the visual register of Roman-aqueduct-and-Pontine-marsh-unda hand-Latin-wave-and-water-and-Roman-aqueduct Roman-aqueduct-and-Pontine-marsh-unda-and-Tiber-flow unda-and-Latin-wave-and-water surfaces under Roman-aqueduct-and-Pontine-marsh-unda-and-Tiber-flow Aqua-Claudia-and-Aqua-Marcia Roman-water-light. Sits at the modifier-and-Latin end of the grid, parallel to via and arbor in usage.

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.
