THE VIOLETS

Violet colors

Violets are the blue-leaning purples at the far edge of the spectrum. There are 78 named violets across nine shades, most of them vivid. They ask a lot of a press, though: three in four shift further in CMYK than a print run can hold.

Of the 16.8 million colors in sRGB, 78 violets carry a name. The ones in the lists designers and developers reach for.
