Puce is a brownish purple color. The term comes from the French , literally meaning "flea color".
Puce became popular in the late 18th century in France. It appeared in clothing at the court of Louis XVI. The color was said to be a favourite color of Marie Antoinette; however, there are no portraits of her wearing it.
