Bountiful Dumortierite

#064aa7
Notes

Bountiful Dumortierite (#064AA7) is a deep azure 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 (215°, 93%, 34%) 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 amber. 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.

Dumortierite
noun

An aluminum-borate-silicate mineral — saturated deep blue, mined principally in Madagascar, Brazil, and Nevada. Used as ornamental stone and porcelain manufacturing additive. The color refers to a polished dumortierite cabochon: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue with the matte finish of opaque silicate mineral.
