Triumphant Tyrol

#479920
Notes

Triumphant Tyrol (#479920) 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 (101°, 65%, 36%) 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

Triumphant
adjective

Latin triumphāns, celebrating victory — present-participle of triumphāre. As a color modifier, triumphant implies a saturated-and-celebratory-and-victorious quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Imperial-period triumphal-arch spolia relief and Arch-of-Titus victory imagery. Sits at the bold-and-celebratory end of the grid, parallel to victorious and conquering.

Tyrol
noun

The Alpine region split between Austria and northern Italy — and the deep green of Tyrolean Alpine pasture and the grün lederhosen of traditional Austrian dress. Tyrol color refers to a Tyrolean Alpine meadow in July: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of high-altitude wildflower-and-grass.
