Stripped Ireland

#4e7322
Notes

Stripped Ireland (#4E7322) is a deep lime with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (87°, 54%, 29%) 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 indigo. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Stripped
adjective

Old English stripian, to strip — past-participle of strip. As a color modifier, stripped implies a clear-and-bared-and-unornamented quality, the crisp color of Cistercian-and-Bauhaus anti-ornamental stripped-down architectural interior. Sits at the crisp-and-stripped end of the grid, parallel to spare and bare in usage.

Ireland
noun

The Emerald Isle — and the saturated deep green of Irish countryside, the cathair (capital green) of Dublin, and the Connacht shamrock symbol. Ireland refers to a County Kerry hillside in May: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of well-watered Atlantic-coast grass.
