purplishness

Tending toward violet

The quality of being somewhat purple—having a tinge or cast of purple without being fully so.

The word describes colors that lean toward purple: the purplishness of the evening sky, a bruise taking on purplishness as it heals.

Rarely used; most speakers would say "purplish tint" or "purple cast" instead.
