Bountiful Romaine

#3ea003
Notes

Bountiful Romaine (#3EA003) 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 (97°, 96%, 32%) 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

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Romaine
noun

Lactuca sativa var. longifolia, the upright lettuce variety whose tall green-and-white heads are essential to Caesar salad. Named for Rome, where the Romans cultivated it for European salad tradition. The color refers to a fresh romaine leaf: a soft, slightly cool yellow-green with the satin finish of dewy lettuce.
