This pretty pastel violet shade of purple (light Violet) is a gorgeous mid tone you can use to add depth to your needlework. Impressionist painters loved violet so much that art critics lambasted its overuse. Conjecture circulated that their overfondness for the color was caused by madness or from spending too much time in the open air.
