Jazzed Granate
Jazzed Granate (#FF7EB5) is a soft 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 (334°, 100%, 75%) 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 teal. For something softer, pull in its analogous neighbors on either side of the wheel.
Etymology
American slang jazz, liveliness — past-participle of jazz. As a color modifier, jazzed implies a saturated-and-excited-and-active quality, the bright color of American-Jazz-Age poster-and-album-cover saturated-and-rhythmic graphic-design. Sits at the bright-and-active end of the grid, parallel to caffeinated and wired in usage.
Spanish for garnet — and a color word used in Iberian textile and ceramic tradition since at least the seventeenth century for the deep red of Bohemian and Spanish garnet jewelry. The color refers to a polished Spanish almandine garnet: a deep, slightly cool dark red with the gem's signature internal warmth. Deeper than ruby, warmer than burgundy.

Accessibility
How this color appears to viewers with the four major color-vision-deficiency types. Computed via the Machado (2009) physiologically-based model. If a tile matches the original, the color reads the same to that viewer.
The color used as foreground text against pure white and pure black, with the contrast ratio and WCAG 2.1 grade. Aim for AA (4.5:1) for body text and AA Large (3:1) for 18 pt+ headlines; AAA (7:1) is the gold standard for long-form reading surfaces.
Wide gamut
The CSS Color 4 wide-gamut form of this color. Both swatches render the same color on every display — the P3 form only diverges from sRGB when a designer pushes channels outside sRGB's reach.
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.
