Replete Raspberry
Replete Raspberry (#AE1752) is a true magenta with a warm character. It leans warm, pulling light toward red, orange, and yellow. Naturally inviting, it suits editorial and hospitality contexts. Its HSL profile (337°, 77%, 39%) 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 teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
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.
Rubus idaeus, the European raspberry — its name traces to Mount Ida in either Crete or Anatolia, where the fruit was first described in classical literature. The color refers to a ripe raspberry's drupelets: a saturated, slightly cool deep red-pink with the optical complexity of a hundred-cell aggregate fruit. Cooler than coral, warmer than fuchsia, with the orchard-and-jam weight of a fruit whose color is identical to the food-coloring industry's raspberry red.

How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
