Stamped Ireland

#779b41
Notes

Stamped Ireland (#779B41) is a true lime with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (84°, 41%, 43%) 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

Stamped
adjective

Old English stempan, to stamp — past-participle of stamp. As a color modifier, stamped implies a clear-and-impressed-and-repeating quality, the crisp color of William-Morris-and-Liberty-of-London block-printed-textile carefully-impressed pattern. Sits at the crisp-and-printed end of the grid, parallel to printed and engraved in usage.

Ireland
noun

The Emerald Isle — and the saturated deep green of Irish countryside, the cathair (capital green) of Dublin, and the Connacht shamrock symbol. Ireland refers to a County Kerry hillside in May: a saturated, slightly cool deep green with the matte finish of well-watered Atlantic-coast grass.

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.
