Subdued
Unlike an energetic color scheme, a
subdued or grayed scheme has little contrast.
Mauve, a blend of magenta, gray, and white,
is a diminished color. The addition of
minimal gray and white to any brilliant
hue results in subdued and delicate varia-
tions, including grayed blues and grayed
greens. Mauve combined with other tints
and shades appears to be understated and
dull. A spark of color in the form of its
complement, or a more vivid tone of the
original hue, must be added to bring these
mellow hues back to life. To maintain the
subdued nature of similar colors, shades
should be used sparingly.
