Abundant Galah

#821161
Notes

Abundant Galah (#821161) 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 (318°, 77%, 29%) 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

Abundant
adjective

Latin abundāre, to overflow — present-participle of abound. As a color modifier, abundant implies a saturated-and-plentiful quality where the hue carries surplus visual richness beyond minimum requirement. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to plentiful and bountiful.

Galah
noun

Australian Eolophus roseicapilla — a Cacatuidae parrot of the Australian arid zone, whose breeding-plumage adults have a brilliant deep-magenta breast against pale-grey wings. Galah color refers to a Eolophus roseicapilla breast feather field in raking light: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the velvet finish of carotenoid-pigmented feather barbs against the gray melanin-substrate wing-feather background.
