Bountiful Chrysoberyl

#448004
Notes

Bountiful Chrysoberyl (#448004) 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 (89°, 94%, 26%) 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.

Chrysoberyl
noun

A beryllium-aluminum oxide gem — particularly the chartreuse-green variety distinguished from emerald by its different chemistry. Mined principally in Brazil, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar. The color refers to a faceted Brazilian chrysoberyl: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the gem's signature high refractive index.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
