Gobelin Mauve is a cool grey, close to purple.
It can be described as cool, muted, greyish and dusty.

Gobelin was the name of a family of dyers, who in all probability came originally from Reims, France, and who in the middle of the 15th century established themselves in the Faubourg Saint Marcel, Paris, on the banks of the Bièvre.
