Etymology

Orderly
adjective

Latin ōrdō, order — adjectival suffix -ly. As a color modifier, orderly implies a clear-and-arranged-and-organized quality where the hue carries the visual register of carefully-ordered-and-classified placement. Sits at the crisp-and-orderly end of the grid, parallel to methodical and organized in usage.

Bagryanyi
noun

The Russian word for deep crimson — used in Old Slavonic religious texts for the robes of saints and in modern Russian poetry for the autumn foliage. The color refers to bagryanyi-dyed Russian wool: a saturated, slightly cool deep red with the matte finish of plant-dye-on-felt. Deeper than crimson, cooler than burgundy.
