My sibling know what i talk about when i mention “that specific shade of purple” that is our favorite shade of purple and seems impossible to recreate using digital tools and is incredibly hard to find in real life.

Your sweater is that purple.

    Looks like it's hex code #402b37, if you do want to use it digitally

    I appreciate your help but extracting the value does not work. Believe me i create digital art, i have tried.

    This hexcode looks too red. The actual color, i believed, is an optical illusion that requires a certain lighting/shading.

    challenge accepted! i've shifted the color temperature (until whites/greys are actually white/gray, to cancel out the reddish tint caused by the lighting). the lightest parts of the sweater are #4f3945, the darkest more like #281622, and the average over a fairly large area is #3e2a35. any of those closer to what you're looking for?
