Pure Kompot
Pure Kompot (#8E1076) 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 (311°, 80%, 31%) 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
Latin purus, clean, unmixed — applied to color since antiquity for hues that contain only one pigment without dilution by white, black, or another color. Pure red is the textbook ideal: high saturation, mid lightness, no shift. Sits at the bold-bucket center, parallel to true and strong.
Polish-Russian-Ukrainian kompot — a fruit-based clear-broth drink made from cooked stone-fruit, currants, raspberries, and sour cherries in a deep-magenta liquor. Kompot color refers to a freshly cooled bowl of Polish-Catholic-Lent kompot with floating stone-fruit halves: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of anthocyanin-rich mixed-fruit broth in a clear-glass jar.
