Abundant Grove

#3a950a
Notes

Abundant Grove (#3A950A) 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 (99°, 87%, 31%) 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

Abundant
adjective

Latin abundāre, to overflow — present-participle of abound. As a color modifier, abundant implies a saturated-and-plentiful quality where the hue carries surplus visual richness beyond minimum requirement. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to plentiful and bountiful.

Grove
noun

A small group of trees — often a deliberately planted cluster of Olea, Citrus, or Quercus in Mediterranean cultural landscape. Grove color refers to a Provençal olive grove canopy: a soft, slightly muted gray-green with the matte finish of mature olive foliage.

Display P3 representation

The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.

This color is chromatic enough that authoring it as P3 native (instead of clamping to sRGB) gives a perceptibly more saturated render on wide-gamut displays — modern Macs, iPhones, iPads, and most recent OLED laptops.
