Fig

Picture a deep, rich purple with hints of rosy brown. This color looks luscious on your lips, sophisticated in your closet, and elegant in interior design. Cosmetics in this hue look beautiful whether you opt for a shadow that makes the eyes pop, a lipstick that puts a daring spin on tradition, or a blush that gives dark complexions a natural flush. When added to your wardrobe, various shades of fig provide a hit of mystery and allure. It’s so subtle that it’s practically a neutral. This color is perfect for a fall wedding or as a chic, understated business suit. It looks equally dramatic when paired with crisp white or ebony. You can even choose a leather tote or booties in this sumptuous shade. When decorating with fig, try creating a monochromatic palette that draws upon the color’s brown undertones for a warm, welcoming effect. Vibrant blues, reds, and greens are equally alluring. This shade of purple pairs well with both warm and cool undertones. Adding this color to a scheme of soft pastels gives this feminine look an edgy spin. You can even use it on your walls for a moody yet understated effect that pairs fabulously with neutrals like soft gray or camel.
