Plentiful Lohita

#b74e48
Notes

Plentiful Lohita (#B74E48) is a true red 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 (3°, 44%, 50%) 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 cyan. 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.

Lohita
noun

The Sanskrit word for copper-red — used in Vedic texts and Sanskrit poetry for the slightly metallic red-brown of copper, dried blood, and certain river clays. The color refers to a freshly cleaved copper ore: a soft, slightly muted deep red-brown with the matte finish of copper-and-iron oxide. Drier than copper, warmer than rust.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
