#51588e - Piccadilly Purple color

A muted indigo-blue leaning toward slate; deep yet softened by gray undertones that give it a cool, dusk-like quality. It reads as sophisticated and calm, with a subtle violet whisper that prevents it from feeling purely navy. Works well as a grounding neutral in interiors, fashion, or branding, pairing beautifully with warm ochres, rose blush, oak wood, and brass accents. Conveys stability and understated elegance, suitable for mature, contemplative palettes that need depth without high contrast.
