Sufficiently Domino
Sufficiently Domino (#060117) is a deep indigo 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 (254°, 92%, 5%) 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 yellow. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Latin sufficiēns, enough — adverbial-and-adjectival suffix -ly. As a color modifier, sufficiently implies a neutral-and-enough-and-satisfactory quality where the hue carries the visual register of enough-and-satisfactory-and-fitting coordinated color-decision matched to its functional requirement. Sits at the neutral-and-traditional end of the grid, parallel to adequately and appropriately in usage.
The traditional Domino tile of European table games — black on one side, with sets of dots from zero to six on the other. The name traces to the Latin domino, the hooded cloak worn by Catholic priests, for the tile's black-and-white contrast. The color refers to the black face of a polished bone domino tile: a deep, slightly muted near-black with the satin finish of carved bone or ebony.

Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
This color sits well within the sRGB cube. P3 and sRGB share the gray axis and most desaturated tones, so a P3 display renders this identically to an sRGB display.
