Blue-Violet
 |
Blue-violet
is the color of periwinkle and iris, the lavender-blue of the
nursery song. It pairs beautifully with yellow-orange, its complement
on the color ring. (If yellow-orange is difficult to visualize,
imagine "cheddar" or "mango.") Intense versions
of blue-violet are elegant in combination with gold and creamy
white. Although it's considered a cool color, blue-violet is
a bit warmer than blue, which may explain its popularity. Teamed
with salmon (a light value of red-orange) and apple green (a
bright yellow-green), it forms an exquisitely balanced triad.
The use of kindred hues on either side of a color - in this case,
violet and red-violet in one direction and blue and blue-green
in the other - is always pleasing. |
