blålila

Blålila is a Swedish color term used to describe hues that lie in the blue to purple part of the color spectrum. It denotes a color range between blue (blå) and violet/purple (lila) and is commonly understood to be a cool, saturated shade rather than a pure primary color. In practice, blålila can refer to mid-tone blues with purple undertones as well as deeper purples with blue tints, depending on context and material.

In digital and print color spaces, there is no single standard hex or CMYK code for blålila; rather, it encompasses a family of shades. Common examples in the broader blue-violet family include hex values such as #6A5ACD (slate blue-violet), #7B68EE (medium slate blue), and #483D8B (dark slate blue). The exact appearance of blålila varies by medium, display calibration, and pigment.

Etymology and usage: The term is a compound of blå (blue) and lila (purple), reflecting Scandinavian color naming practices that describe shades by combining basic color words. It is used in fashion, interior design, art, and branding to convey a cool, sophisticated mood.
