Drawn Pimento Lagoon

Old English dragan, to draw — past-participle of draw. As a color modifier, drawn implies a clear-and-line-and-mark quality, the crisp color of Old-Master-and-Modernist hand-drawn studio-and-life-class observational-drawing graphite-and-charcoal lines. Sits at the crisp-and-incised end of the grid, parallel to etched and drafted in usage.

Spanish pimiento, sweet-red-Iberian-capsicum. As a color modifier, pimento implies a sweet-red-Iberian-capsicum-and-allspice-berry quality, the visual register of Spanish-and-Jamaican-pimento hand-sweet-red-Iberian-capsicum-and-allspice-berry Spanish-and-Jamaican-pimento-and-allspice-berry pimento-and-sweet-red-Iberian-capsicum surfaces under Spanish-and-Jamaican-pimento-and-allspice-berry Iberian-and-Jamaican-Blue-Mountain Iberian-and-Jamaican-spice-light.

A shallow body of saltwater partially or fully enclosed by a barrier — coral atoll lagoons in the Pacific, Venice's Laguna Veneta, the Florida Keys' backcountry. The color refers to the average reflectance of a calm tropical lagoon at midday: a saturated, slightly muted blue-green with the optical clarity of shallow water over white sand. Brighter than reef, cooler than aquamarine, with the postcard weight of a Pacific atoll seen from above.
