Plotted Sol Lagoon

Old English plot, small piece of ground — past-participle of plot. As a color modifier, plotted implies a clear-and-coordinate-mapped quality, the crisp color of Cartesian-and-graph-paper coordinate-plotted scientific-and-engineering data-visualization plot-line. Sits at the crisp-and-mapped end of the grid, parallel to mapped and surveyed in usage.

Latin sol, sun-and-Roman-sun-god. As a color modifier, sol implies a Roman-sun-god-and-stellar-disc quality, the visual register of Roman-Sol-Invictus-and-Apollo-sun hand-Roman-sun-god-and-stellar-disc Roman-Sol-Invictus-and-Apollo-sun-and-Helios-chariot sol-and-Roman-sun-god-and-stellar-disc surfaces under Roman-Sol-Invictus-and-Apollo-sun-and-Helios-chariot December-25-and-Helios-and-quadriga noon-stellar-disc-light. Sits at the modifier-and-zodiac end of the grid, parallel to luna and terra 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.
