Replete Gulābi

#ad017c
Notes

Replete Gulābi (#AD017C) is a deep magenta 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 (317°, 99%, 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 green. 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.

Gulābi
noun

Hindi/Urdu गुलाबी / گُلابی, rose-pink — derived from Persian gul (flower) via gulāb (rose-water), the Indian color tradition for the saturated pink-magenta of Damask rose petals and the iconic Jaipur Pink City stucco. Gulābi color refers to a Jaipur old-city stucco-painted façade in late-afternoon light: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of lime-and-iron-oxide stucco.

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.
