Mauve

Mauve is an extremely feminine and charming shade. Mauve is a shade that falls between lavender and lilac with subtle hints of blue and grey. Mauve can also be considered as pale violet or dirty pink. A sober and subdued shade, mauve is ideal for those who are wary of vibrant pinks and violets.

It's interesting to note that mauve was usurped by the royal families of Europe for a long time and others were banned from wearing mauve. Mauve and silk form a great combination that spell a regal, understated class and elegance. Mauve looks great with beige, cream, pink, grey, green, brown, wine, burgundy, etc.

Every skin tone would look great in a mauve outfit and it can be accessorized with oxidized, antique gold or copper colored jewellery. Pink or cream pearls would look charming.
