It seems like a moderately saturated, moderately bright wisteria purple. Let’s see what other colours have a 51, 102, 153 mix.<br /><br /><img src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EH2-8tbX4AAI-MK.png"><br /><br />Wow, these seem surprisingly muddy to me. I thought they’d be brighter. Is it my monitor?<br /><br />I guess you can’t expect that much from 2/3 saturation & 3/5 brightness. But the purple seems to work well. Maybe it’s just that high purple energy, or maybe it’s just me.<br /><br />If you don't know the term rebeccapurple, it's been in html/css for about five years now. There's a story behind it.<br />I discovered it while reading up on colour names this autumn.<br />#663399becca<br /><br />(originally posted on Twitter)<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=raspberryrain&ditemid=298028" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
