Patrician Feast Forest

Latin patrīcius, of the noble class — derived from pater (father). As a color modifier, patrician implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Patrician-class toga and senatorial-livery hereditary-aristocratic dress. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to senatorial and imperial.

Latin festus, festal-day. As a color modifier, feast implies a celebratory-and-feast-day quality, the visual register of Christmas-and-Easter-Feast celebratory-and-feast-day liturgical-and-secular ceremonial-and-festal-banquet surfaces under feast-day candlelit-and-ceremonial-banquet light. Sits at the modifier-and-time end of the grid, parallel to yule and easter 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.
