Bountiful Prehnite

#559431
Notes

Bountiful Prehnite (#559431) is a true 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 (98°, 50%, 39%) 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 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.

Prehnite
noun

A calcium-aluminum silicate gem — yellow-green, often translucent, mined principally in Australia, Mali, and Scotland. The color refers to a polished Australian prehnite cabochon: a soft, slightly cool yellow-green with the cloudy translucency of low-grade gem material. Cooler than peridot.

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.
