Indigo

3 syllablesTrend: up

Greek indikon, 'Indian dye'; the blue-violet color

Indigo is the color between blue and violet, the dye that stained the hands of weavers from the Indus to Charleston, a word Greek in shape and Indian in origin. As a name it reads dreamy and slightly bohemian, three syllables that open wide and settle soft. It's been worn by the children of rock stars and novelists and, increasingly, everyone else, climbing to 923. There's something of twilight in it, of batik and denim and the first deep hour after sunset. Unisex by nature, sensory by design, Indigo carries its own palette and doesn't ask permission to glow.
