Default Rewording dictionary definitions

Can any of the forum members help me render this Webster's definition of heather into EP?

"a grayish to moderate purplish red that is redder and darker than daphne red."

Thank you.

A dull purple with a red undertone that gives the appearance of gray just before the color turns a shade of purple gone sour.

K, thank you. I think your description reads better than the dictionary's.
