Old English dæl, valley. As a color modifier, dale implies a Yorkshire-pastoral-valley quality, the visual register of Yorkshire-and-Derbyshire-Dales limestone-walled river-valley pasture-and-stone-wall pastoral surfaces in slow-river-cut Northern-English Dale-country light. Sits at the modifier-and-place end of the grid, parallel to vale and glen in usage.

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.
