Abundant Blueberry

#5349a4
Notes

Abundant Blueberry (#5349A4) is a true blue with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (247°, 38%, 46%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary yellow. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Abundant
adjective

Latin abundāre, to overflow — present-participle of abound. As a color modifier, abundant implies a saturated-and-plentiful quality where the hue carries surplus visual richness beyond minimum requirement. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to plentiful and bountiful.

Blueberry
noun

The genus Vaccinium — North American native berry shrubs cultivated since the early twentieth century. The fruit's deep blue-purple skin is colored by anthocyanin and the protective bloom of waxy yeast cells. The color refers to a fresh wild blueberry: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the powdery finish of waxy fruit surface.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
