anybody? the hex triplet is pretty much a guess... user:Grendelkhan
- It looks right to me, but I will maybe do some research and see what I can find. norbu 12-20-04
On a browser that supports visual formatting in Cascading Style Sheets, the following box should appear in this color:

- wrong color, a misunderstanding of the meaning of mauve? Wetman
- If it is the wrong color, update the color list too, when changing. It looks right to me. norbu 12-20-04

No, the problem is a misunderstanding of the order of the triplet, if you're trying to get blue to dominate then 993366 is backwards. Also 99 is not 1 (16/16), it's essentially 10/16, for 16/16 use ff. Mauve is basically any pastel purple leaning towards blue, you can get a rich mauve with the RGB triple 14,10,16 (in units of sixteenths), e0a0ff in hex.

. For a greyer mauve push up the green a tad more to 14,12,16, e0c0ff.

- I updated the CMYK and HSV values based on the changes Vaughan Pratt made. I also updated List of colors, Template:Shades of red and Template:Shades of violet to reflect the changes. PaleAqua 20:03, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
How is this word pronounced? Why is it listed as a shade of red, but not blue, when the rgb triple has a higher value for blue?
