Bountiful Suoh

#b7367e
Notes

Bountiful Suoh (#B7367E) is a true magenta with an earthy character. It leans grounded and natural, the kind of color that plays well with wood, clay, linen, and warm neutrals. Its HSL profile (327°, 54%, 46%) 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

Bountiful
adjective

Old French bonté, goodness — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, bountiful implies a saturated-and-generous-and-abundant quality where the hue offers visual richness without measure. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and plentiful in usage.

Suoh
noun

The Japanese name for sappanwoodCaesalpinia sappan — a Southeast Asian dye source whose heartwood yields a deep red traditionally used in the lining of formal kimono and the inks of Edo-period woodblock printing. The color refers to a fresh suoh-dyed silk: a deep, slightly cool red with the wood-derived warmth of brazilin pigment. Cooler than enji, deeper than akane.
