Vintage Violet
Stampin' Up!® Color

Basic Information

  • In-Colors 2006 to 2007

Vintage Violet is a deep, soft purple with a graceful, floral feel. It suggests vintage florals, antique paper and heirloom 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

Vintage Violet is a muted magenta-pink with a subtle purple-pink influence. It sits near the magenta-violet area, giving it a balanced presence that can either support nearby colors or become a clear focal accent depending on contrast. Its hue of around 325° gives it its purple-pink character, its saturation of about 22% makes it feel muted rather than flat, and its value of about 45% gives it a deep, usable weight.
