Because purple is derived from the mixing of a strong warm and strong cool color it has both warm and cool properties. Dark slate blue is a muted color. Here it is mixed with other muted colors. For warmth, there's a pink/purple/red (R147G49B114), a peachy orange (R190G106B64), and a kind of Dijon mustard yellow (R190G175B64). The green (R72G190B64) is also muted but adds a bright spot to the palette. This is a quiet, sophisticated color palette that feels more feminine than masculine.

You don't have to use these exact shades. Go a touch lighter or darker, or step one spot to the left or the right on the color wheel. These color combinations are just to help you find a suitable color palette using dark blue as the main component.
