About This Color Combination

Navy and red blended together produce deep purple and maroon, rich, dignified hues that carry the gravitas of both parent colors. Blue from navy combines with red to create purple, while navy's high concentration deepens the result to a dark, almost regal tone that sits between a dark plum and a true maroon. This combination has a naturally prestigious, serious character.

Usage Tips

In fine art, deep purple from navy-red mixes is valuable for dramatic shadow tones, evening skies, and the deep darks of rich fabrics like velvet and silk. Graphic designers use maroon and deep purple in academic, legal, and luxury branding where heritage and authority are essential values. Interior designers deploy these deep tones in library spaces, dining rooms, and entryways for a sense of drama and formality. Pair with gold, cream, or pale gray to lift the richness and prevent the deep tones from feeling heavy.
