Bountiful Kansas

#759317
Notes

Bountiful Kansas (#759317) 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°, 73%, 33%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. 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

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Kansas
noun

The American Midwestern state — and the yellow of Kansas wheat at harvest, sunflower fields (Kansas is the Sunflower State), and the Yellow Brick Road of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Kansas refers to a Kansas wheat field at midsummer: a soft, slightly muted warm yellow-tan with the matte finish of ripening grain.
