Grape
Also known as: Gloxinia, Opulent Purple, Ayame Iris, Wineberry
Part of the pink family, Grape pairs a rich base with a playful and warm presence — ideal for soft backgrounds and beauty and fashion. Its complement lands in green territory, which makes for striking two-color pairings. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (9.12:1, passes WCAG AA).
