Well the stuff we call mallow is most certainly violet, quite a pale
violet admittedly.

Or do you mean pale magenta, or even mauve by any chance? Pale violet is blue

BTW, Malva sylvestris is said to be Glyphosate-resistant.

It's also a bit big/upright for growing in lawns. Malva pucilla or M.
neglecta, maybe.

If left to itself it rapidly becomes quite a large plant, eventually
developing into a small bush. However in the lawn it seems to adapt
itself quite well to a 'flat' life. It has a very deep tap root in my
experience and is a real pig to get rid of once established.
