Tomblike Punch

#6f055a
Notes

Tomblike Punch (#6F055A) is a deep magenta with a jewel character. It carries the deep, saturated richness of a gemstone. Authoritative and slightly formal, it works well for type and heavy UI elements. Its HSL profile (312°, 91%, 23%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark 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 green. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Tomblike
adjective

Greek tymbos, tomb — adjectival suffix -like. As a color modifier, tomblike implies the deep-and-funereal-and-sepulchral quality of Etruscan-and-Egyptian rock-cut royal-tomb interiors, particularly the Valley-of-the-Kings and Cerveteri-necropolis hand-carved chamber-painting walls. Sits at the deep-and-funereal end of the grid, parallel to sepulchral and crypted.

Punch
noun

A bright pink-red color named for the surface of a fruit punch — particularly the Tahitian-style punches of mid-century cocktail culture and the brand-name Hawaiian Punch whose color was a signature. The color refers to a saturated, slightly cool red-pink: brighter than fuchsia, warmer than rose, with the mid-century-tropical weight of a color tied to a specific decade of American cookout entertaining.

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.
