Rich Mojito

#3e7e1f
Notes

Rich Mojito (#3E7E1F) 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 (100°, 61%, 31%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. 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

Rich
adjective

Old French riche, wealthy, abundant — applied to color since the medieval period for hues that read as plentiful in pigment. Rich red, rich brown: the implication is depth combined with saturation, a color that gives the eye more to absorb. Sits at the saturated mid-light corner of the engine's grid, slightly warmer than bold and deeper than vivid.

Mojito
noun

The Cuban cocktail of rum, lime, mint, sugar, and soda — popularized by Hemingway in Old Man and the Sea settings. Mojito color refers to a fresh-shaken mojito with crushed mint: a soft, slightly cool yellow-green with the optical clarity of muddled-herb-and-spirits.
