Replete Hops
Replete Hops (#3D9D23) is a true 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 (107°, 64%, 38%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. 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
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.
Humulus lupulus, the climbing vine whose female flower clusters (cones) flavor beer with bittering oils and aromatic compounds. The color refers to fresh hop cones at harvest: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the matte finish of papery flower bracts. Drier than vine.
