Resounding Solarium

#6f9413
Notes

Resounding Solarium (#6F9413) 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°, 77%, 33%) 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

Resounding
adjective

Latin resonāre, to echo back — present-participle of resound. As a color modifier, resounding implies a saturated-and-echoing-and-imposing quality where the hue reverberates visually like a cathedral-bell ring. Sits at the bold-and-resonant end of the grid, parallel to resonant and booming in usage.

Solarium
noun

A glass-roofed sunroom — particularly the Victorian and Edwardian solarium of British country houses, designed to capture warm sunlight on cool days. Solarium as a color refers to the warm yellow of sun-bleached interior wood and faded yellow-painted plaster: a soft, slightly muted warm yellow with the matte finish of UV-aged surface.

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.
