Bountiful Ametrine

#6f1f76
Notes

Bountiful Ametrine (#6F1F76) is a deep violet 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 (295°, 58%, 29%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. 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

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Ametrine
noun

Naturally bicolored amethyst-citrine zoned quartz mined principally at the Anahí mine in eastern Bolivia. The deep-violet amethyst portion contrasts with the golden citrine zone in a single crystal. Ametrine color refers to the deep-violet amethyst zone of a polished Anahí-mine ametrine cabochon: a saturated, slightly cool deep violet with the glassy finish of iron-and-aluminum-substituted quartz under reflected light.
