Dull Blue Violet
#80719e
Dull Blue Violet is a grayed, medium blue-violet, soft and slightly smoky, like the shadows on a snowfield at dusk. It appears in only two combinations. Violet Red pairs it with a deep wine-purple for a moody, tonal effect, while Buffy Citrine adds a dry olive-gold that keeps the violet from feeling sweet. Its contrast is about 4.4:1 on white and 4.8:1 on black, so it is best for larger type on either ground. Consider it for wool knitwear, quiet wallcoverings or muted editorial illustration.
