Plentiful Vermont

#749808
Notes

Plentiful Vermont (#749808) 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 (75°, 90%, 31%) 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.

Vermont
noun

The American Northeast state — and the warm gold-yellow of Vermont sugar-maple foliage at peak fall color and Vermont Grade-A medium-amber maple syrup. Vermont refers to a Vermont Acer saccharum canopy in mid-October: a saturated, slightly red yellow-orange with the optical complexity of carotenoid-rich autumn leaves.

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.
