Solid Fragola

#8d1c66
Notes

Solid Fragola (#8D1C66) 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 (321°, 67%, 33%) places it in the balanced band at a dark lightness. It works well as a headline, icon, or deep background in an otherwise light layout, pairing cleanly with cream, bone, and warm neutrals. 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

Solid
adjective

Latin solidus, firm, dense — used as a color modifier since the seventeenth century for hues that read as continuous and unbroken: a solid blue is one with no variation across the surface. Implies high saturation combined with optical density. Sits in the bold-bucket alongside strong and robust, slightly more focused on uniformity.

Fragola
noun

Italian for strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) — the deep-pink aggregate-fruit cultivated worldwide and the eponymous flavor-base for gelato alla fragola. Fragola color refers to a freshly hulled Fragaria × ananassa aggregate-fruit cross-section: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of anthocyanin-rich strawberry-flesh against the pale yellow-green achenes. The Latin fragāria refers to the fragrance of the wild fruit.
