amaranthine

Never losing color

Amaranthine means unfading or immortal, from the amaranth—a mythical flower said never to wilt.

The word appears in literary contexts describing things of enduring beauty or eternal nature: amaranthine glory, amaranthine love.

It can also mean deep purple-red, the color of actual amaranth flowers.

The word is rare and decidedly poetic.
