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”.

ITS IS TIME: Miss Universe National Costume 2023
it's here! the Met Gala for people who actually understand what camp is!
yes I'm like 3 months late, but I sat down and watched the damn thing. I put up with the horrible little rhyming couplets for each contestant so you don't have to. and without further ado:
Albania: Starting off very Victoria’s Secret this year! Apparently it’s gold for important symbolism reasons, not just because everything in this competition is blinged out to within an inch of its life. The wings do look nice in motion!
Moving on!
British Virgin Islands: This is a prom dress and a flag. Her headdress has an extremely complicated Catholic backstory and I’m not listening to all of that. Boo.
Curacao: I have to assume there are some local politics around the Olympics in Curacao that I know nothing about. If I had any context whatsoever I’m sure this would be a very good costume.
Germany decided to do sexy Disney Rapunzel and I do not think I respect that. Please commit to 20 feet of hair and a real skirt.
Ireland: This is a very good recycled-materials Sea Queen or a GREAT Power Rangers villain. Approve either way.
Malaysia votes “present.”
Nigeria: Very respectable warrior goddess look! I like that her backpiece is swords and spears, that’s a fun innovation.
This is the last batch! Also I just noticed the typo in the header of the very first post in this chain!
Apparently Saint Lucia has the most Nobel Prize winners per capita of any country. (They have two, and a small country.) I feel like they should maybe not have let a middle-schooler do the lettering by hand, but this is a weirdly common issue so oh well.

i feel like i have to inform you that the awful ankle rouched trousers that ye zun wears to go menace the supervisory department with his pimp cane are actually a pair of shen wei's trousers. we get a brief shot of him wearing them in ep 5 at 18:33 when he's chatting (see: lying) to the butler guy in the water murder case about supposedly not getting involved with either zhao yunlan or the SID
I'm afraid it's even worse than that.
I went to double-check, and specifically went after times they're both wearing those pants outdoors, just to make sure daylight doesn't change the colors. Shen Wei's pants are kind of very pale khaki, something in Sherwin Williams neighborhood of "Snowbound" or perhaps even "Greek Villa".
Ye Zun's trousers are cut the same unfortunate way, but his are white white. He is doing the absolutely demented thing of mixing his pure #FFFFFF whites (shirt, tie) with slightly cream whites (vest, coat) and a pale peach pocket square (wft baby). The contrast together makes it clear that this maniac's pants are white like printer paper, the kind of white you only wear if you have magical dry-cleaning powers (or an army of production people waiting off-camera with Tide pens), because that shit stains if you look at it sideways.
That means there are two pairs of those hideous pants roaming around Dragon City, and they need to be stopped at all costs before someone puts either of them back on Zhu Yilong again.
