Rich Uranus violet

Old French riche, wealthy, abundant — applied to color since the medieval period for hues that read as plentiful in pigment. Rich red, rich brown: the implication is depth combined with saturation, a color that gives the eye more to absorb. Sits at the saturated mid-light corner of the engine's grid, slightly warmer than bold and deeper than vivid.

Greek Οὐρανός, primeval-sky-god-and-seventh-planet. As a color modifier, uranus implies a primeval-sky-god-and-pale-cyan-seventh-planet quality, the visual register of Greek-Uranus-and-Herschel-discovery hand-primeval-sky-god-and-pale-cyan-seventh-planet Greek-Uranus-and-Herschel-discovery-and-tilted-axis uranus-and-primeval-sky-god surfaces under Greek-Uranus-and-Herschel-discovery-and-tilted-axis 1781-Slough-discovery-and-side-rolling-planet pale-cyan-planet-light. Sits at the modifier-and-zodiac end of the grid, parallel to neptune and saturn in usage.

Viola odorata, the European sweet violet — small, fragrant, and the original meaning of the color name in English (the Violet of the rainbow). The color refers to a fresh sweet violet blossom in late winter: a saturated, slightly red-shifted deep blue-purple with the matte finish of small five-petaled flower. Cooler than amethyst, warmer than indigo, with the perfumed weight of a flower used in Roman garlands and Victorian eau de toilette.
