Brimming Schlumbergera

#871076
Notes

Brimming Schlumbergera (#871076) is a deep violet 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 (309°, 79%, 30%) 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

Brimming
adjective

Old English brymme, brim / edge — present-participle of brim. As a color modifier, brimming implies a saturated-and-overflowing quality where the hue spills past the edge of its visual container with rich pigmentation. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to replete and abundant.

Schlumbergera
noun

Brazilian Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera × buckleyi) — a Cactaceae epiphytic cactus native to the Mata Atlântica coastal rainforest, with deep-magenta zygomorphic flowers that bloom in mid-winter. Schlumbergera color refers to a fully opened Schlumbergera × buckleyi terminal flower at Christmas: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the velvet finish of fresh tubular zygomorphic corolla. Named for Frédéric Schlumberger, French cactus patron.

Display P3 representation

The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.

This color is chromatic enough that authoring it as P3 native (instead of clamping to sRGB) gives a perceptibly more saturated render on wide-gamut displays — modern Macs, iPhones, iPads, and most recent OLED laptops.
