#996699

The hexcode #996699 is a lighter, warmer, and more saturated variant of the shade "French Lilac". By itself, it is commonly associated with phenomenon (95.3% match), fascination (94.6% match), and frivolous (93.9% match). When French Lilac is combined with Purple Navy, it relates to the terms ornate and educated. When joined with Eerie Black, it becomes more related to the term gallant. When French Lilac is added to Maximum Purple, it shares association with the terms frivolous and darkening. When paired with its complementary color #669966, a darker, warmer, and more saturated variant of the shade "Shiny Shamrock", it shares connection with the terms benefit or funny. However, when we analyze the color next to its other triadic colors, #989966 (a shade of "Moss Green") and #669899 (a shade of "Cadet Blue"), the resulting palette becomes warmer than the complementary color palette and changes from the color index category of "casual" to the "elegant" category. Specifically, the new triad is most suggestive of faithful and intermediate.
