Etymology
Old English un- (negation) plus wafrian (to flicker). As a color modifier, unwavering implies a saturated-and-constant quality where the hue maintains its full strength without flicker or shift. Sits at the bold-and-firm end of the grid, parallel to steadfast and firm in usage.
French for blackberry / mulberry (Rubus fruticosus / Morus nigra) — the deep-violet aggregate-drupe of European hedgerows and Morus tree-fruit, both important anthocyanin-rich autumn fruits. Mûre color refers to a freshly picked Rubus fruticosus aggregate-drupe in a Berry hedgerow: a saturated, slightly cool deep violet with the matte finish of anthocyanin-rich aggregate-drupelet cluster on hand-collected fruit.
