Voldemort
Also known as: Infinite Inkwell , Night Fog , Candied Blueberry , Nebula Night
Few purples feel this lively. Voldemort leans cool and creative and luxurious, which points it toward premium packaging and fantasy themes. Reach for a yellow companion shade to give Voldemort maximum contrast. It's dark enough to use for text on white backgrounds (15.33:1, passes WCAG AA).
