Latin patrīcius, of the noble class — derived from pater (father). As a color modifier, patrician implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Patrician-class toga and senatorial-livery hereditary-aristocratic dress. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to senatorial and imperial.

Latin capricornus, horned-goat-of-the-zodiac. As a color modifier, capricorn implies a sea-goat-and-earth-sign-and-Saturn-ruled-cardinal-earth quality, the visual register of Hellenic-Capricorn-and-Pan-sea-goat hand-sea-goat-and-earth-sign-and-Saturn-ruled-cardinal-earth Hellenic-Capricorn-and-Pan-sea-goat-and-Babylonian-Suhurmašu capricorn-and-sea-goat-and-earth-sign surfaces under Hellenic-Capricorn-and-Pan-sea-goat-and-Babylonian-Suhurmašu winter-solstice-and-December-and-January cardinal-earth-sign-light.

Viola odorata, the European sweet violet — small, fragrant, and the original meaning of the color name in English (the Violet of the rainbow). The color refers to a fresh sweet violet blossom in late winter: a saturated, slightly red-shifted deep blue-purple with the matte finish of small five-petaled flower. Cooler than amethyst, warmer than indigo, with the perfumed weight of a flower used in Roman garlands and Victorian eau de toilette.
