#553e51 - Currant Violet color

A deep, muted plum with brown undertones that reads as dusky mauve or vintage velvet. It feels warm and slightly smoky, evoking aged wood, autumn shawls, and dimly lit boudoir interiors. Sophisticated and moody rather than bright, it pairs beautifully with cream, gold, olive, and charcoal for elegant contrast. Use it to add cozy depth in textiles, cabinetry, or accent walls, where it provides a rich, subdued statement without overpowering a palette.
