Bountiful Goji

#8e3a73
Notes

Bountiful Goji (#8E3A73) 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 (319°, 42%, 39%) 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

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Goji
noun

Chinese Lycium barbarum (枸杞) — a Solanaceae shrub native to the Ningxia region of north-central China, whose deep-magenta drupes have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for two millennia. Goji color refers to a freshly dried Lycium barbarum drupe-cluster on a Ningxia sun-drying mat: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of carotenoid-and-anthocyanin-rich dried-fruit skin.

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.
