About this color

Amethyst — It may just be a purple variety of quartz, but amethyst has been a highly valued semiprecious stone since antiquity. The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst had curative properties and could prevent the wearer from getting drunk. As a color, Amethyst is a solid shade of purple that pairs nicely with greens, browns, tans, and off-whites.
