Purple is a very used color in the Anglo-Saxon world, but it was not very successful in our country. It’s limited use is certainly linked to the Christian traditions, to mourning and superstitions (it is considered bad luck in many occasions, especially in theater) that go back to obedience, penitence, and sorrow.
On the other hand, this modest diffusion has made it a particularly exclusive and researched color.
In truth, it’s a color that is linked to reflection and mystery. Masculine and feminine, it represents the mind and fantasy.
Made of red and blue, it can take on gradients from lilac to indigo.
I enjoy it in studies, or in rooms where concentration is necessary and the calming effect of blue is reinvigorated by the strength of red.
I have always loved it, because it is the color of secrecy, a noble color.
When mixed with red it is more classy, with white it becomes lilac and always more sugary.
Reddish purple is strong and spiritual, meanwhile bluish purple evokes solitude and cold.
The juxtaposition of these colors lets us obtain an infinite variety of sensations that often have to be mitigated with neutral, natural, reassuring tones, suitable for the materials used.
Obviously, like all colors, it resonates different based on what materials it is used with.
