Drawn Loganberry

#f9aee7
Notes

Drawn Loganberry (#F9AEE7) is a soft magenta with a pastel character. It reads calm and airy, with enough chroma to feel intentional rather than washed out. Its HSL profile (314°, 86%, 83%) places it in the highly saturated band at a light 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

Drawn
adjective

Old English dragan, to draw — past-participle of draw. As a color modifier, drawn implies a clear-and-line-and-mark quality, the crisp color of Old-Master-and-Modernist hand-drawn studio-and-life-class observational-drawing graphite-and-charcoal lines. Sits at the crisp-and-incised end of the grid, parallel to etched and drafted in usage.

Loganberry
noun

Rubus × loganobaccus — a chance hybrid between Rubus ursinus (Pacific blackberry) and Rubus idaeus (raspberry) discovered in 1881 by Judge James Harvey Logan of Santa Cruz, California. Loganberry color refers to a freshly picked Rubus × loganobaccus aggregate-drupe-cluster: a saturated, slightly cool deep magenta with the matte finish of anthocyanin-rich aggregate drupelets. Slightly cooler than raspberry.

Moderately saturated colors gain a small bump in P3 — the difference is usually visible side-by-side on wide-gamut hardware but won't change the character of the color.
