Unyielding Momoiro
Unyielding Momoiro (#BD208A) is a true magenta with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (319°, 71%, 43%) 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 green. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
Old English un- (negation) plus gildan (to give-up). As a color modifier, unyielding implies a saturated-and-uncompromising quality where the hue refuses to fade-or-shift under any visual pressure. Sits at the bold-and-resilient end of the grid, parallel to indomitable and adamant in usage.
Japanese 桃色, peach color — though traditionally referring to the warm pink of Prunus persica peach blossom, the modern color name momoiro extends to the deep-saturated magenta-pink of cultivated double-petaled peach varieties. Momoiro color refers to a fully bloomed Prunus persica var. plena double-flower: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the velvet finish of densely overlapping ruffled peach-blossom petals.

Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
This color is chromatic enough that authoring it as P3 native (instead of clamping to sRGB) gives a perceptibly more saturated render on wide-gamut displays — modern Macs, iPhones, iPads, and most recent OLED laptops.
