Psychology

At deep values violet feels rich and contemplative — a colour of ceremony and introspection.

Mauveine, the first synthetic dye, was discovered by accident in 1856 by eighteen-year-old William Perkin — a purple that sparked an industrial revolution in colour.

Design use

Colour pairings
