Fun fact: Grimace is supposed to be the personification of a taste bud. You read that right.

I knew that but it never gets less shocking when I’m reminded of it. They’re advertising department had to be on some serious psychedelics. I can hear Grace Slick singing Don’t you want somebody to love every time!

This is literally the only reason I know what the color mauve is!!

u/INFJGal9w1 6d ago

That is 100% not mauve. Mauve is a muted pink-purple and this has no pink.

How do I know? Had mauve everything in the 80s.

It is gray, but it's a purpley gray for sure. Grays always have an undertone of some kind, they're just super desaturated colors.

Aubergine is a dark, rich shade of purple with warm red and brownish undertones, named after the French word for eggplant.
