Tucked Feast Lagoon

Old English tūcian, to torment / pull — past-participle of tuck. As a color modifier, tucked implies a clear-and-fitted-and-arranged quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-tucked-and-neatly-fitted shirt-into-trouser dress-attire. Sits at the crisp-and-finished end of the grid, parallel to trim and pressed in usage.

Latin festus, festal-day. As a color modifier, feast implies a celebratory-and-feast-day quality, the visual register of Christmas-and-Easter-Feast celebratory-and-feast-day liturgical-and-secular ceremonial-and-festal-banquet surfaces under feast-day candlelit-and-ceremonial-banquet light. Sits at the modifier-and-time end of the grid, parallel to yule and easter 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.
