Nightshade

The purple flower of the nightshade plant - a member of the solanaceae family. This plant family also includes many familiar food crops, such as potato, tomato and eggplants! So don't be afraid, even though this colour fabric would be fantastic for Halloween-themed designs.

DMC approximations are bluer than 550 on linen, and bluer than 155 on evenweave.

This colour works well on all available fabrics, with linen giving the brightest results. Lugana, other evenweaves and Aida give much paler (more muted) results.
