Lavender

True lavender oil is purple-pink and floral; CSS Lavender is a near-white violet that the X11 graphics committee picked from a Pantone-style sample book in 1985 and that has never been retuned. The value reads as quiet rather than aromatic. Wellness brands like Caraway and Hims lean on tones in this band for packaging because the cool undertone signals calm without committing to gendered pink. Use it as a page wash beneath aubergine #581c87 headings or as a card background against charcoal body copy. Place it next to bright yellow and the violet cast amplifies into something almost garish - a warning the X11 committee never bothered to document.
