This hue is inspired by the soft purple of Count von Count, the charming, number-loving vampire from Sesame Street. Introduced in 1972 and voiced by Jerry Nelson, the Count’s deep lavender complexion became instantly recognizable—a playful twist on the gothic vampire archetype. The shade evokes both whimsy and sophistication, balancing cartoonish friendliness with a nod to classic horror aesthetics. It’s a color that captures the Count’s peculiar mix of delight and drama: dark enough to hint at mystery, yet bright enough to belong in the joyful, educational world of Sesame Street.
