Plentiful Reap Violet

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.

Old English rīpan, to harvest. As a color modifier, reap implies an autumn-harvest-and-sickle quality, the visual register of late-summer-and-early-autumn hand-reaping-and-binding wheat-and-barley harvest-and-sickle-and-sheaf surfaces under late-summer-and-early-autumn harvest-field raking-light. Sits at the modifier-and-time end of the grid, parallel to fall and harvest in usage.

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.
