par touches

La signalétique violette couleur du luxe dixit son créateur, se mélange par touches aux meubles aux meubles blancs...

Are there matching bits of violet on the white furniture so that it is is all well coordinated?

Thanks for your help
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 touches of violet

I think the idea of "signage" is important and needs to be worked into the chosen answer. Not sure where "hallmark" comes from although it is a nice "touch" (groan!)

A shop. It is describing the designer interior of a shop. Thanks.
Mark Nathan Oct 25, 2007:
Any more context? Is this a decription of a painting?

touches of violet

the white furniture is enhanced by the designer's hallmark touches of violet, a colour that he/she assimilates with luxury

something along these lines ... I doubt if it's actually on the white furniture but in this rendering it doesn't matter
Peer comment(s):
neutral Sandra Petch : Yes, except wouldn't the "signalétique" be the signposting in the shop?

I think hallmark or trademark would work in this context :-)
