Plentiful Eudialyte

#88387a
Notes

Plentiful Eudialyte (#88387A) is a true magenta with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (311°, 42%, 38%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. 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.

Eudialyte
noun

Rare zirconium-cyclosilicate first described from Greenland's Ilímaussaq Complex in 1819. The mineral's deep-raspberry-pink color comes from manganese substitution in the cyclosilicate ring sites. Eudialyte color refers to a polished Ilímaussaq eudialyte cabochon: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the glassy finish of complex zirconium-sodium-cyclosilicate. The Greek genus name eu-dialytos means easily decomposed in acid.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
