Unwavering Fur Violet

Old English un- (negation) plus wafrian (to flicker). As a color modifier, unwavering implies a saturated-and-constant quality where the hue maintains its full strength without flicker or shift. Sits at the bold-and-firm end of the grid, parallel to steadfast and firm in usage.

Old French forrer, to-line-with-fur. As a color modifier, fur implies a soft-pelt-and-mammal-coat quality, the visual register of Russian-and-Canadian-fur hand-trapped-and-prepared mink-and-sable-and-fox Russian-and-Canadian-fur-coat-and-trim surfaces under Russian-and-Canadian hand-trapped-fur-coat-and-trim atelier light. Sits at the modifier-and-texture end of the grid, parallel to pelt and fluff 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.
