What does MAUVE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A pale purple color with a hint of pink or gray.
Mauve sits between lilac and dusty pink on the color spectrum, softer and more muted than a bright violet or magenta. The name comes from the French word for the mallow flower, whose pale purple petals gave the color its identity when a synthetic mauve dye first became fashionable in the nineteenth century. As an adjective, mauve describes anything with this soft purplish shade, from paint and fabric to flowers and sunsets.
