Aconite Violet

#a36aa5

Aconite Violet is a medium orchid purple, warmer and redder than Light Mauve, close to the flowers of monkshood, the plant also called aconite. It appears in 11 combinations. Spectrum Red pairs with it for a vivid, theatrical effect, Black makes it look rich and jewel-like, and Dark Soft Violet keeps things tonal and calm. At about 4.1:1 on white it suits headings and large type, and it sits a little better on black. Try it in silk scarves, floral illustration or a boutique's shopping bags.
