Well-tempered dark violet

A deep mauve that, with cool intensity, creates a dense, sensual and at the same time intellectual atmosphere.

This shade describes a deep mauve with medium to low brightness and a cool, slightly magenta-leaning temperature. Its distinct yet controlled saturation lends it a concentrated presence reminiscent of velvet, ink, and evening light. It is perceived as sensual, intellectual, and subtly dramatic without being loud. The color creates a dense, enveloping atmosphere where contours appear softer, thoughts more precise, and moods deeper. Subtle nuances in the darker values ​​prevent heaviness and maintain a balanced and sophisticated effect.

The color of Mauve 97 harks back to historical purple and aniline hues that shaped fashion, graphic design, and interiors in the 19th century, establishing a new understanding of artificially created depth. In couture, this shade appears in heavy velvets, satins, or technically refined surfaces, where it accentuates volume, shadows, and layered silhouettes. In interiors, it unfolds its effect on smooth wall surfaces, in niches, or as textile volume in curtains and upholstery. Combined with textured plaster, dark wood, smoked glass, and matte metals, it creates an environment reminiscent of boudoirs, libraries, and intimate exhibition spaces. In color compositions, Mauve 97 appears particularly balanced alongside off-white neutrals, cool blue-black nuances, and muted rose and plum tones. As an accent next to light stone or polished concrete, the shade acquires an architecturally modern sharpness. It is suitable for rooms where concentration, tranquility and a sophisticated, slightly theatrical atmosphere are desired, without appearing decorative.
