Etymology

Healthful
adjective

Old English hǣlth, health — adjectival suffix -ful. As a color modifier, healthful implies a clear-and-vital-and-wholesome quality where the hue carries the visual register of fresh-air-and-sunlight outdoor health-promoting environment. Sits at the crisp-and-wholesome end of the grid, parallel to salubrious and wholesome in usage.

Conclave
noun

Latin cum clave, with key — the locked-room cardinal-selection ceremony of the Sistine Chapel (since 1492), where cardinals wear deep-violet choir cassocks during the daily voting sessions. Conclave color refers to a contemporary cardinal's conclave choir-cassock: a saturated, slightly cool deep violet with the matte finish of vat-dyed ecclesiastical wool. Distinct from the cardinal's day-to-day red cassock.
