Resolute Tribe Royal

From the Latin resolutus, unwavering — used as a color modifier in literary contexts for hues that read as committed and unmoving. Resolute blue, resolute green: the saturation is full, the hue holds its position without shifting under different light. Sits in the bold-bucket center alongside strong and true, with slightly more focus on stability than presence.

Latin tribus, one-of-three-original-tribes. As a color modifier, tribe implies a kin-and-clan-and-extended-family quality, the visual register of pre-modern-tribal-and-kinship hand-built tent-and-totem-and-elder-council clan-and-kinship surfaces under pre-modern tribal-and-kinship hand-built encampment-and-elder-council firelight. Sits at the modifier-and-cultural end of the grid, parallel to clan and kin in usage.

The blue of European royal court dress and regalia from the late seventeenth century forward — the color of British peers' robes, French royal sashes, the lining of the crown-jewel cases. The color refers to a saturated, slightly violet-shifted blue with the matte finish of velvet or melton wool dyed to maximum intensity: deeper than cornflower, warmer than ultramarine, with the heraldic weight of a color reserved for monarchs and the official Crown.
