This hue is inspired by the violet-blue blossoms of the jacaranda tree (Jacaranda mimosifolia), whose vibrant canopy transforms city streets into a haze of color each spring. The flower’s distinctive shade comes from anthocyanin pigments that shift subtly between blue and purple depending on light and pH, creating a luminous, almost dreamlike effect. Native to South America and now planted across warm climates worldwide, the jacaranda’s blossoms paint the landscape with a fleeting brilliance—a reminder of beauty that blooms, then drifts away like violet snow.
