Aubergine is the word for eggplant in some countries.
The color of an eggplant is aubergine, which is dark reddish-purple. The word is pronounced "o-ber-zheen." In some countries, eggplants are called aubergines. Eggplant or aubergine has become a popular interior house color, as it is considered opulent and sophisticated. It can take the place of black or brown.
The Mixture
To create the color purple, which is a secondary color, you must mix two primary colors, red and blue, together. Because aubergine is slightly redder than true purple, you should add more red than blue.
Value
Aubergine is darker than standard purple, so adding a little black will deepen the color. When you add black to a color, this is considered the "shade." When you add white, it is considered the "tint," and when you add gray it is the "tone." The value of a color includes shade, tint and tone.
Purple Shades
