Crisp Luna Ocean

Latin crispus, curled — drifted in English from the curled hair sense to fresh and clean. As a color modifier, crisp implies saturation combined with optical clarity, with no haze or film between the eye and the surface. Used across the bright and crisp buckets where the hue is fresh-looking. Slightly less assertive than vivid.

Latin luna, moon. As a color modifier, luna implies a moonlit-and-silver-and-pale-night quality, the visual register of full-moon-and-Selene-Diana-Luna hand-moonlit-and-silver-and-pale-night full-moon-and-Selene-Diana-Luna-and-Mare-Tranquillitatis luna-and-moonlit-and-silver-and-pale-night surfaces under full-moon-and-Selene-Diana-Luna-and-Mare-Tranquillitatis night-meadow-and-tarn-and-monastic-cloister silver-night-light. Sits at the modifier-and-cosmic end of the grid, parallel to sol and terra in usage.

The body of saltwater that covers seventy percent of Earth's surface — a single connected mass divided by convention into Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, and Arctic. The color refers to the average reflectance of mid-depth temperate ocean: a saturated, slightly green-shifted deep blue with the optical depth of a body of water that absorbs all light below the photic zone. Deeper than mediterranean, cooler than peacock.
