Replete Cornwall

#6fa020
Notes

Replete Cornwall (#6FA020) 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 (83°, 67%, 38%) 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

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

Cornwall
noun

The southwestern English county — and the rolling green hills of Cornish moors and the Cornish Heritage Coast hedgerows. Cornwall color refers to a Cornish hillside in late spring: a saturated, slightly cool deep yellow-green with the matte finish of grazed pasture grass. Drier than verdant.
