Phosphoric Kompot
Phosphoric Kompot (#FD93D3) 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 (324°, 96%, 78%) 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
Greek phōsphóros, light-bringer — adjectival suffix -ic. As a color modifier, phosphoric implies a saturated-and-cool-glow quality, the bright color of match-tip-strike and firefly phosphorus-emission luminescence. Sits at the bright-and-cool end of the grid, parallel to phosphorescent and fluorescent in usage.
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.
