Plentiful Kalanchoe

#921271
Notes

Plentiful Kalanchoe (#921271) 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 (315°, 78%, 32%) 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

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.

Kalanchoe
noun

African Madagascar widow's-thrill (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) — a Crassulaceae succulent native to Madagascar whose deep-magenta four-petaled flowers in dense terminal corymbs make it a popular winter-bloomer house plant. Kalanchoe color refers to a fully bloomed Kalanchoe blossfeldiana terminal corymb: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the velvet finish of fresh small four-petaled flowers. The genus name comes from the Chinese kalankoe.

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.
