Replete Bì

#3d9914
Notes

Replete Bì (#3D9914) is a deep green 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 (102°, 77%, 34%) 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 violet. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

noun

The Chinese word for bluish-green jade — used for the deepest, most saturated jade-green color and the green of bì-yù (jadeite). The color refers to a polished imperial bì-yù cabochon: a saturated, slightly cool deep green-blue with the satin finish of fine jade. Cooler than midori.
