Old Violet
Like deep Parma violets or blue lavender it is a wonderful 18th century colour used for colouring the inside of furniture- like the lining of a jacket - or for using with as the base with Paris Grey on top and distressed ' It is of course wonderful used as just on its own as here on this old desk. I have painted the interior red with Emperor's Silk but it could have been painted with Celadon Green or Duck Egg Blue for a more toned land cooler effect.
