What color is Mauve Pink?
Mauve pink is a soft, dusty pink with a gentle purple undertone, hex #E0B0FF, similar in tone to the petals of a pale wisteria bloom. It has more grey in it than a bright rose pink, giving it a muted, powdery appearance.
What is the meaning of the color Mauve Pink?
The name mauve entered English in 1859, when the British chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally produced a purple dye from coal tar and named it after the French word for the mallow flower. The dye was the first synthetic color made at industrial scale, and it spread rapidly through the Victorian fashion trade, becoming fashionable enough that the 1890s were nicknamed the Mauve Decade by author Thomas Beer. Mauve pink sits at the lighter, warmer end of that original dye family, and the shade was adopted by Hallmark as part of its signature pastel palette for greeting cards in the mid-twentieth century.
