Bountiful Bamboo

#41910a
Notes

Bountiful Bamboo (#41910A) 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 (96°, 87%, 30%) 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.

Bamboo
noun

The subfamily Bambusoideae — fast-growing tropical and temperate grasses essential to East Asian architecture, scaffolding, and cuisine. Bamboo color refers to fresh bamboo culms in a Kyoto garden: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the satin finish of segmented culm. Cooler than yamabuki.
