Plentiful Guacamole

#6ea002
Notes

Plentiful Guacamole (#6EA002) 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 (79°, 98%, 32%) 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

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Guacamole
noun

The Mexican avocado-based dip — fresh avocado mashed with lime, cilantro, salsa, and salt, traced to pre-Columbian Aztec cuisine via the Nahuatl āhuacamolli (avocado sauce). Guacamole color refers to fresh-mashed guacamole in a molcajete: a soft, slightly muted yellow-green with the matte finish of pureed avocado-and-lime. Drier than avocado.

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.
