Fleur-De-Lis
Also known as: Cut Velvet , Lavender Blaze , East Side , Creeping Bellflower
Fleur-De-Lis is what happens when purple turns soft and gentle. The effect is imaginative and refined, made for premium packaging and fantasy themes. Fleur-De-Lis plays well with green tones. The harmonies below show which ones. Against dark backgrounds it stays legible (7.66:1), but avoid it as text on white.
