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).

Where Grape works

  • Web & UI: Use it directly for text on light surfaces; it clears AA contrast without adjustment.
  • Interiors: Use it where you want the eye to land — front door, built-ins, or one bold wall.
  • Fashion: One garment in this color carries an outfit; two starts to compete.
  • Branding: Signals imagination and indulgence — strong for beauty and creative-market brands.
  • Web & UI: Use it decoratively — dividers, chart series, illustration accents — and let neutrals carry the type.
  • Branding: Best in a brand's supporting palette — packaging interiors, patterns, campaign accents.
