Robust Fragola
Robust Fragola (#DF4AA6) 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 (323°, 70%, 58%) 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
From the Latin robustus, of oak — implying strength combined with substance. As a color modifier, robust describes saturation combined with body: a robust burgundy, a robust olive. Sits in the bold-and-warm corner alongside strong and solid, with the slightly textural implication of a color that has substance behind the pigment.
Italian for strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) — the deep-pink aggregate-fruit cultivated worldwide and the eponymous flavor-base for gelato alla fragola. Fragola color refers to a freshly hulled Fragaria × ananassa aggregate-fruit cross-section: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of anthocyanin-rich strawberry-flesh against the pale yellow-green achenes. The Latin fragāria refers to the fragrance of the wild fruit.
