mauve
Muted purple shade
Mauve is a pale purple color with gray or pink undertones, softer and dustier than violet or lavender.
The shade takes its name from the mallow flower.
Once associated with Victorian fashion, mauve now appears in discussions of interior design, wedding palettes, and vintage aesthetics: The bridesmaids wore mauve.
