Violet

#4f4086

Violet is a deep, saturated blue-purple, the color of a ripe damson or a pansy's darker petals. It appears in 12 combinations. Carmine Red gives it a rich, regal contrast, Yellow Ocher sets up a classic purple-and-gold complement, and Grayish Lavender - B softens it into a dusky tonal scheme. With around 8.7:1 on white it reads well as text at any size, while on black it should only be a ground. Use it for academic robes, bookbinding cloth or bold, saturated packaging.
