About this color

African Violet — The word "violet" tends to have connotations of a dark blue shade of purple, but the reality of violet flowers is a little less dramatic. African Violets have bursts of white at the center of their petals, and the purple parts of the petals usually have a softer, paler shade. As a color, African Violet is directly inspired by this gentle hue.
