Patrician Rigel violet

Latin patrīcius, of the noble class — derived from pater (father). As a color modifier, patrician implies a saturated-and-aristocratic-and-Roman-Republic quality, the deep-rich color of Roman-Patrician-class toga and senatorial-livery hereditary-aristocratic dress. Sits at the bold-and-aristocratic end of the grid, parallel to senatorial and imperial.

Arabic rijl-al-jawzā', foot-of-Orion. As a color modifier, rigel implies a blue-supergiant-and-Orion-foot quality, the visual register of Orion-Hunter-and-winter-blue-supergiant-Rigel hand-blue-supergiant-and-Orion-foot Orion-Hunter-and-winter-blue-supergiant-and-Bortle-1 rigel-and-blue-supergiant-and-winter-zenith surfaces under Orion-Hunter-and-winter-blue-supergiant-and-Bortle-1 January-and-February-winter-Orion deep-blue-stellar-light.

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.
