Dull Violet Black
#1e0e3f
Dull Violet Black is a near-black with a clear blue-violet cast, like the darkest part of an aubergine skin. Next to Hay's Russet it becomes rich and autumnal, Antwarp Blue keeps it cool and nocturnal, and Apricot Yellow pops brightly against it like a lit window. With roughly 17.7:1 on white it is effectively a black for text purposes, and it lends dark interfaces or print a slightly warmer, inkier depth. Consider it for evening wear, letterpress printing or the walls of a small dining room.
