Plentiful Yosemite

#4a66ed
Notes

Plentiful Yosemite (#4A66ED) is a true blue with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (230°, 82%, 61%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary amber. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Yosemite
noun

The California national park in the Sierra Nevada — and the saturated deep blue of Half Dome's eastern shadow at sunset and the Yosemite Valley sky framed by El Capitan. Yosemite refers to the Yosemite Valley sky at sunset: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue with the optical depth of high-altitude desert sky.
