Sitting between blue and violet on the wheel, indigo runs darker than a straight royal blue, and the purple in it is the whole difference between the two. Against a black base it is nearly invisible under office lighting, which is exactly what recommends it to anyone who wants the panel to stay their business. Sun draws the violet out and the underside turns rich denim. It fades through blue and then to soft gray-purple.

Undertonecool. The violet cast makes it kinder to olive and warm-neutral skin than a pure blue, which can look cold against yellow-based complexions.
Starting pointIts depth means it takes on a level six or seven base, so dark hair needs only moderate lifting on the panel before it will show.
UpkeepHolds around six weeks, drops its violet before its blue, and like every blue in the range it will tint a white pillowcase in the first week.
