Replete Erdbeere

#c91e99
Notes

Replete Erdbeere (#C91E99) 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 (317°, 74%, 45%) 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

Replete
adjective

Latin replētus, filled — past-participle of replēre. As a color modifier, replete implies a saturated-and-fully-pigmented quality where the hue is completely loaded with its source pigment. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to brimming and suffused in usage.

Erdbeere
noun

German for strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) — particularly the deep-magenta Hanseatic harvest strawberry of Schleswig-Holstein and Niederrhein river-meadows, the iconic summer-fruit base of Erdbeerkuchen. Erdbeere color refers to a freshly hulled Fragaria × ananassa aggregate-fruit cross-section in a Hamburg market stall: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of anthocyanin-rich strawberry-flesh against pale yellow-green achenes.

Display P3 representation

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.
