Build a colour pairing
Mauve with dusty pink: Dusty pink softens rose with a muted undertone. It is useful when the palette should have colour without a bright pink centrepiece. Keep mauve as the lead if you want this page’s colour direction to stay dominant.
Mauve with plum: Plum brings a purple undertone to a deep manicure. A rosy nude or pale lilac keeps a small accent visible against that depth. Keep mauve as the lead if you want this page’s colour direction to stay dominant.
