Viola

Mauve lipsticks

Mauve lipsticks are muted shades between pink and purple, softened with grey or brown. Their low chroma makes them read quieter than a pink or a plum. A mauve with more red reads rosy, one with more violet reads cooler and dustier, and lighter mauves sit close to a natural lip colour.

122 shades in this family, grouped by undertone. Mauves sit at hue angles from about 290° through 0° to 28°, with chroma below 30.
