#EE82EE

CSS color

Overview

Violet is a bright, light purple, rgb(238, 130, 238) at hex #EE82EE, formed by high and equal red and blue channels with a mid-level green. Its hue reads at 300 degrees — the same as purple and magenta — but its lifted green softens it to a paler, gentler tone at high brightness. Violet belongs to the extended CSS3 named colors. Unlike the non-spectral purples, true violet corresponds to the shortest visible wavelengths, though the CSS keyword is a lightened, desaturated rendering of that region. Its airy quality suits decorative and floral palettes. It sits alongside related CSS purples such as orchid and plum, and its lightness gives it a decorative, floral quality distinct from the deeper, more saturated purple and indigo.

Violet (#EE82EE) is a soft, medium pink-purple CSS named colour, referencing the pale purple colour of violet flowers — one of the most fragrant and delicately coloured spring flowers. Unlike the deep blue-violet of the spectral colour violet, this CSS named colour leans significantly toward pink, creating a soft, floral lavender-pink. It is widely associated with femininity, romance, spring, and the gentle transience of blossoming flowers.
