Violet Red

#642d5e

Violet Red is a dark plum-purple, the first in this run with a clear blue lean (b* of -17.7), giving it the depth of aubergine skin or a dark grape. Its single combination pairs it with Dull Blue Violet, a hazy greyed lavender, so the two shift only slightly in hue and the effect is quiet and enveloping. White text on Violet Red reaches 10.1:1, easily readable at any size. It is a fine choice for velvet, perfume packaging, evening invitations or a dark, moody reading corner.
