Re: mauve

Thank you so much, and you're welcome! I hope you find something you like.

About Mauve, I believe that as a dye, although I'm less sure about the Aelia color. I mean, language affects how we perceive color (see: arguments about whether something is blue or green before compromising and deciding to call it teal) probably more than eye color (I have green eyes, my mother and sister have brown eyes, and I regularly get into 'let's just call it teal' arguments with them) or chromosomal gender (chromosomal males are far more likely to have red/green colorblindness), so I'm sure the color we call mauve must've existed before the word mauve. I just also doubt that Aelia's Autumn Mauve could've been achieved with vegetable dyes. Usually purple and lavender shades were made by overdying blue fabric (dyed with woad) in red or pink dye (made with madder).

... So basically, here is a comment that says 'Hat is a nerd who likes parentheses.'
