Plentiful Goji

#a21d90
Notes

Plentiful Goji (#A21D90) is a true violet 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 (308°, 70%, 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 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.

Goji
noun

Chinese Lycium barbarum (枸杞) — a Solanaceae shrub native to the Ningxia region of north-central China, whose deep-magenta drupes have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for two millennia. Goji color refers to a freshly dried Lycium barbarum drupe-cluster on a Ningxia sun-drying mat: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of carotenoid-and-anthocyanin-rich dried-fruit skin.
