Plentiful Stoa Rose

Old French plentif, abundant — adjectival suffix -ful, derived from Latin plēnitās (fullness). As a color modifier, plentiful implies a saturated-and-generous quality where the hue carries rich visual abundance without restraint. Sits at the bold-and-saturated end of the grid, parallel to abundant and bountiful.

Greek stoa, Greek-colonnaded-walkway. As a color modifier, stoa implies a Greek-and-Athens-colonnaded-walkway quality, the visual register of Athenian-Stoa-of-Attalos hand-built colonnaded-walkway-and-marketplace stoa-and-arcade-and-bouleuterion classical-Greek architectural surfaces under Athenian-Stoa-of-Attalos colonnaded-walkway light. Sits at the modifier-and-architecture end of the grid, parallel to agora and forum in usage.

The Latin rosa, the Greek rhodon, the Persian gul — every European language has a different name for the same flower and the same color. Rose covers the spectrum from blush to fuchsia depending on the cultivar, but in pigment shorthand it means a cool, slightly bluish red — the inside of a damask petal, the dye that washes out of madder root.
