Bountiful Sakura

#952751
Notes

Bountiful Sakura (#952751) is a true magenta with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (337°, 59%, 37%) 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 teal. 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.

Sakura
noun

The flowering cherry — Prunus serrulata — and the unifying spring color of Japanese aesthetic life. The color refers to a somei-yoshino cherry in full bloom: a soft, slightly cool pale red-pink with the matte finish of five-petaled bloom. Lighter than rose, cooler than coral, with the ephemeral weight of a flower whose two-week bloom defines an entire season's poetry.

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.
