Replete Eustoma

#9c6afd
Notes

Replete Eustoma (#9C6AFD) is a true indigo with a cool character. It leans cool, sitting on the blue, green, and violet side of the wheel. Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (260°, 97%, 70%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid 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 lime. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

Eustoma
noun

Mexican-Texan prairie gentian (Eustoma grandiflorum) — marketed worldwide as lisianthus, a long-stemmed cut-flower industry staple with deep-violet rose-form blooms. Eustoma color refers to a freshly cut Eustoma grandiflorum fully opened bloom: a saturated, slightly cool deep blue-violet with the velvet finish of overlapping ruffled tepals. The Greek genus name eu-stoma means fine-mouthed, after the wide-throated corolla.

Wide gamut

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.
