Bountiful Kohaku
Bountiful Kohaku (#DB6A13) is a true orange with a vibrant character. It holds its own as a focal accent, carrying visual weight without tipping into neon territory. Its HSL profile (26°, 84%, 47%) places it in the highly saturated band at a mid lightness. Best used in small doses, like logos, CTAs, focus rings, or highlight text, where its saturation becomes a feature rather than noise. For a confident two-color system, pair it with its complementary azure. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
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.
The Japanese name for amber — fossilized tree resin imported from Baltic deposits since the Heian period and worked into ornamental beads, sword fittings, and netsuke. Also the name of a koi cultivar with red markings on white. The color refers to a polished Baltic-amber bead in a Japanese tea-ceremony display: a warm, slightly translucent gold-orange with the depth of resin. Cooler than honey, deeper than tangerine.
