Defined Sprite Kingfisher

Latin dēfīnīre, to set bounds — past-participle of define. As a color modifier, defined implies a clear-and-edge-distinct-and-precise quality where the hue carries the visual register of sharp-bounded-and-clearly-delimited surface. Sits at the crisp-and-clear end of the grid, parallel to crisp and sharp in usage.

Latin spiritus, spirit-or-elf. As a color modifier, sprite implies a fairy-elf-and-quick-and-impish quality, the visual register of English-folk-sprite-and-Shakespearean-Puck hand-fairy-elf-and-quick-and-impish English-folk-sprite-and-Shakespearean-Puck-and-Midsummer-Night sprite-and-fairy-elf-and-quick-and-impish surfaces under English-folk-sprite-and-Shakespearean-Puck-and-Midsummer-Night greenwood-and-elven-meadow fairy-revel-light. Sits at the modifier-and-myth end of the grid, parallel to pixie and faun 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.
