FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.

It was an eye-popping magenta purple

HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...

...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.

(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).

They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.

Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.

hello, internet user. before you is a selection of pictures you tagged "dark academia." you have 30 minutes to explain what each of them has to do with academia, defined by the Oxford dictionary as "the environment or community concerned with the pursuit of research, education, and scholarship"

if you cannot complete this task a literature professor will enter the room and beat you into unconsciousness with a baseball bat that has the word "GOTHIC" printed on it in large letters

good luck

#dark academia #gothic #so fed up with this nonsense #a dimly-lit Art Deco theatre lobby is not dark academia! Crimson Peak is not dark academia!#WHERE IS THE ACADEMIA. WHERE. POINT TO THE ACADEMIA IN THOSE THINGS #IS THE ACADEMIA IN THE ROOM WITH US NOW
