Plentiful Liriope

#7b0d69
Notes

Plentiful Liriope (#7B0D69) 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 (310°, 81%, 27%) 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

Plentiful
adjective

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Liriope
noun

Asian lily turf (Liriope muscari) — an East-Asian Asparagaceae groundcover with vertical spikes of deep-violet beadlike flowers above grass-like foliage in late summer. Liriope color refers to a fully bloomed Liriope muscari spike: a saturated, slightly cool deep violet with the matte finish of fresh small beadlike flowers. Named for the Liríopē river-nymph of Greek mythology, mother of Narcissus.
