Blue Violet
#6450a1
Blue Violet is a saturated, medium-dark purple with a strong blue lean, like the petals of an iris. It has much more punch than the softer violets near it. Cameo Pink makes it romantic and slightly retro, Citron Yellow sets up a sharp complementary contrast, and Spectrum Red pushes it into a loud, vibrant combination. With roughly 6.6:1 on white it handles body text well, while on black it should stay large. Use it for evening wear, theater posters or deep-toned velvet cushions.
