Plentiful Gulābi

#c14a9d
Notes

Plentiful Gulābi (#C14A9D) is a true magenta with a cool character. It leans cool, sitting on the blue, green, and violet side of the wheel. Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (318°, 49%, 52%) 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

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.

Gulābi
noun

Hindi/Urdu गुलाबी / گُلابی, rose-pink — derived from Persian gul (flower) via gulāb (rose-water), the Indian color tradition for the saturated pink-magenta of Damask rose petals and the iconic Jaipur Pink City stucco. Gulābi color refers to a Jaipur old-city stucco-painted façade in late-afternoon light: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of lime-and-iron-oxide stucco.

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.
