PS July: Purple

PURPLE - The Queen of colour

  • very rich, rare in nature
  • love, courage, spirit and wisdom
  • long enduring sadness, long past mourning
  • regality and grandness. It used to be difficult to obtain so it was the favourite of ancient rulers
  • BLUE VIOLET - cool colour, individuality, solitude
  • RED VIOLET - warmer, strength & splendour

In art

  • wide variety of emotional responses so use varies according to goals
  • dark shadowy purple - bring to life using its complement or after image.
  • balance heaviness wih other colours
