Opulent Bloodstone

#739b11
Notes

Opulent Bloodstone (#739B11) 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°, 80%, 34%) 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

Opulent
adjective

Latin opulentus, rich / wealthy — derived from ops (wealth). As a color modifier, opulent implies a saturated-and-luxurious quality, the deep-rich color of Belle-Époque and Gilded-Age interior-decoration silk-and-velvet textiles. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to lavish and sumptuous.

Bloodstone
noun

A dark green chalcedony with red iron-oxide flecks — used in classical antiquity for engraved seals and Christian-era ornament (the red flecks symbolizing Christ's blood). Also called heliotrope. The color refers to a polished bloodstone cabochon: a saturated, slightly muted dark yellow-green with the optical complexity of red-flecked chalcedony.

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.
