Stalwart Demantoid

#6c9507
Notes

Stalwart Demantoid (#6C9507) 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 (77°, 91%, 31%) 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

Stalwart
adjective

Old English stǣl-wyrðe, stable-and-worthy. As a color modifier, stalwart implies a saturated-and-loyal-and-firm quality where the hue carries the dependable-and-trustworthy visual presence of a Knight-Templar guard. Sits at the bold-and-firm end of the grid, parallel to steadfast and firm in usage.

Demantoid
noun

A green variety of andradite garnet — known for its high dispersion (more than diamond) and prized in late-Tsarist-era Russian jewelry. Mined principally in the Russian Urals, Namibia, and Madagascar. The color refers to a faceted Russian demantoid: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the gem's signature internal fire.
