Mauve Color Palette
Mauve is a muted, pale purple with pink and gray undertones. First created as a synthetic dye in 1856, it sparked a fashion revolution in Victorian England. Today it remains a sophisticated choice for brands that want a purple feel without the intensity. This palette offers five variations from deeper plum-mauve to airy, almost-white violets.
