Bountiful Flamingo

#a22b0a
Notes

Bountiful Flamingo (#A22B0A) is a deep red 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 (13°, 88%, 34%) places it in the highly saturated band at a dark 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 cyan. 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.

Flamingo
noun

The genus Phoenicopterus — wading birds whose pink-orange plumage comes from carotenoid pigments in the brine shrimp and algae they eat. The color refers to a Caribbean flamingo's neck plumage: a soft, slightly cool pink-orange with the matte finish of dietary-pigmented feathers. Cooler than coral, warmer than salmon.

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.
