Radiant Berry

#5797fb
Notes

Radiant Berry (#5797FB) is a true azure with a cool character. It leans cool, sitting on the blue, green, and violet side of the wheel. Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (217°, 95%, 66%) 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

Radiant
adjective

From the Latin radiare, to emit rays — used as a color word since the seventeenth century for hues that read as luminous and emitting. Radiant gold, radiant pink: the implication is high luminance combined with the optical impression of an outward light. Sits in the bright-bucket center alongside glowing.

Berry
noun

A general-purpose color name for the deep blue-purple of Vaccinium blueberries, Sambucus elderberries, and the Aronia black-chokeberries that mark hedgerows in autumn. The color refers to a ripe wild blueberry's bloom-coated skin: a deep, slightly violet-shifted blue with the powdery finish of waxy fruit. Cooler than wine, warmer than indigo, with the foraged-fruit specificity of a word that covers half-a-dozen species.

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.
