Level Gloam Kingfisher

Latin libella, small-balance / level-tool — sharing root with libra (balance). As a color modifier, level implies a clear-and-horizontal-true quality where the hue carries the visual register of gravity-perpendicular-and-perfectly-horizontal surface. Sits at the crisp-and-balanced end of the grid, parallel to plumb and flat in usage.

Old English glōm, twilight-or-dusk. As a color modifier, gloam implies a twilight-and-half-light-and-fading quality, the visual register of Scottish-Border-and-Hebridean-gloam hand-twilight-and-half-light-and-fading Scottish-Border-and-Hebridean-and-Orkney gloamed-and-twilight-and-fading surfaces under Scottish-Border-and-Hebridean-and-Orkney long-northern-twilight-and-blue-hour gloaming-and-twilight light. Sits at the modifier-and-mood end of the grid, parallel to dusk and shade in usage.

The family Alcedinidae — particularly Alcedo atthis, the European common kingfisher whose iridescent turquoise-blue plumage gives the color its name. The color refers to a male European kingfisher's wing: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-green with the iridescent satin finish of structurally colored feathers.
