Prismatic Kompot

#ec70bd
Notes

Prismatic Kompot (#EC70BD) is a true magenta with a cool character. It leans cool, sitting on the blue, green, and violet side of the wheel. Quiet and dependable, a fit for product UI and data visualization. Its HSL profile (323°, 77%, 68%) 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 green. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.

Etymology

Prismatic
adjective

Greek prísma, prism — adjectival suffix -ic. As a color modifier, prismatic implies a saturated-and-multi-spectrum-decomposed quality, the bright color of crystal-prism and cut-glass-chandelier light-refraction-spectrum decomposition. Sits at the bright-and-shifting end of the grid, parallel to iridescent and spectral in usage.

Kompot
noun

Polish-Russian-Ukrainian kompot — a fruit-based clear-broth drink made from cooked stone-fruit, currants, raspberries, and sour cherries in a deep-magenta liquor. Kompot color refers to a freshly cooled bowl of Polish-Catholic-Lent kompot with floating stone-fruit halves: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of anthocyanin-rich mixed-fruit broth in a clear-glass jar.
