Surveyed Ceres Kingfisher

Old French surveer, to look upon — past-participle of survey. As a color modifier, surveyed implies a clear-and-measured-and-coordinated quality, the crisp color of Mason-Dixon-Line-and-Royal-Navy-Hydrographic scientific-and-cadastral land-and-sea surveying tradition. Sits at the crisp-and-mapped end of the grid, parallel to mapped and plotted in usage.

Latin Ceres, Roman-goddess-of-grain. As a color modifier, ceres implies a dwarf-planet-and-asteroid-belt-and-grain-goddess quality, the visual register of Ceres-dwarf-planet-and-asteroid-belt hand-dwarf-planet-and-asteroid-belt-and-grain-goddess Ceres-dwarf-planet-and-asteroid-belt-and-Dawn-mission ceres-and-dwarf-planet-and-asteroid-belt surfaces under Ceres-dwarf-planet-and-asteroid-belt-and-Dawn-mission inner-asteroid-belt-and-Occator-crater dwarf-planet-light. Sits at the modifier-and-cosmic end of the grid, parallel to vesta and pallas in usage.

The family Alcedinidae — particularly Alcedo atthis, the European common kingfisher whose iridescent turquoise-blue plumage gives the color its name. The color refers to a male European kingfisher's wing: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the iridescent satin finish of structurally colored feathers.
