Bountiful Sunrise

#c24a28
Notes

Bountiful Sunrise (#C24A28) is a true red with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (13°, 66%, 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 cyan. 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.

Sunrise
noun

The atmospheric color at the moment the sun crosses the horizon at dawn — the same atmospheric optics as sunset but with cooler, slightly cleaner air at lower morning temperature. The color refers to the eastern horizon at sunrise on a clear summer morning: a saturated, slightly cool orange with the optical brightness of forward-scattered solar light. Cooler than sunset.

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.
