Plentiful Coquelicot

#b33067
Notes

Plentiful Coquelicot (#B33067) 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 (335°, 58%, 45%) places it in the balanced band at a mid lightness. It works across type, buttons, and borders, saturated enough to feel deliberate but balanced enough to not fight the rest of the palette. 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

Plentiful
adjective

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.

Coquelicot
noun

The French word for poppyPapaver rhoeas — the wild red flower of European cereal fields and the unifying flower of French Impressionist painting (especially Monet's Coquelicots, Argenteuil). The color refers to a freshly opened poppy in a Provençal field: a saturated, slightly cool red with the satin finish of single-day petal. Brighter than scarlet, slightly cooler than tomato.
