Bountiful Galicia

#6e9024
Notes

Bountiful Galicia (#6E9024) is a true 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 (79°, 60%, 35%) 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.

Galicia
noun

The wet northwestern Spanish region — and the saturated green of Galician hillsides, tetillas cheese pastures, and the bagpipe-playing Celtic traditions of Atlantic Iberia. Galicia refers to a Galician hillside in late winter: a saturated, slightly cool yellow-green with the matte finish of high-rainfall coastal pasture.
