Victorious Sleet violet

Latin victōriōsus, of victory — derived from victor (winner). As a color modifier, victorious implies a saturated-and-celebratory-and-conquering quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Imperial victory-procession purpura-dyed paludamentum cloak. Sits at the bold-and-celebratory end of the grid, parallel to triumphant and conquering.

Middle English slete, icy-rain-or-snow-rain-mix. As a color modifier, sleet implies an icy-rain-and-half-frozen-and-driven quality, the visual register of North-Sea-and-Yorkshire-Moors-sleet hand-icy-rain-and-half-frozen-and-driven North-Sea-and-Yorkshire-Moors-sleet-and-Pennine-pass sleet-and-icy-rain-and-half-frozen surfaces under North-Sea-and-Yorkshire-Moors-sleet-and-Pennine-pass Yorkshire-Moors-and-Pennine-Way-and-Cleveland-Hills North-Sea-front-light. Sits at the modifier-and-weather end of the grid, parallel to hail and rime 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.
