Old Violet

Reminiscent of deep Parma violets or blue lavender, Old Violet is a lovely 18th century color. It is a wonderful color to use on its own, most notably on the inside of furniture – like the lining of a jacket. It is also lovely used as a base for an overlay of neutral color, such as Paris Grey or Country Grey.
