Purple commands the eye to take notice, especially when so prevalent in today’s home interiors, fashions and gardens.
The color purple evokes an aura of royalty, mystique, power, wealth and magic. Powerful Roman Emperors such as Julius Cesar, as well as being a favorite hue of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, wore garments in rich shades of purple, reigning supreme power. Today’s celebrities and designers like Diane Von Furstenberg, Chanel, Christian Louboutin plus many more are re-introducing purple, bringing life back into our waredrobes.
Spiritually, it reflects pure thought and symbolizes intelligence and knowledge. This is no ordinary hue, for the palette includes violet, grape, lavender, lilac, orchid, plum and aubergine. A wide range of shades to suite all needs and desires.
Greyed lavenders and violets are perfect hues for an interior if you want to create a calming yet sophisticated living space. Whether one uses softer tones as a backdrop or deeper accents for a focal point, purple brings a regal air of beauty and harmony into any decor.
So get passionate with purple!
