Stampin' Up!® Color

Basic Information

  • In-Colors 2019 to 2021

Purple Posy is a very pale, muted purple with a graceful, floral feel. It suggests purple flowers, grapes and royal themes, while still reading as a flexible color rather than a single literal object. The shade has enough personality to stand on its own, but it can also support nearby colors when used with related tones, crisp neutrals or deeper accents. Depending on the surrounding palette, it can read as lavender, amethyst, lilac or violet, which gives it useful range for seasonal, natural, floral and themed designs.

Color Theory

Purple Posy is a nearly neutral purple with a subtle violet-purple influence. It sits near the violet area, giving it a cool presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 285° gives it its violet-purple character, its saturation of about 7% makes it feel nearly neutral rather than flat, and its value of about 93% gives it a light, usable weight.
