Psychology

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

History

The original purple dye — Tyrian purple — was extracted from sea snails and required thousands of molluscs for a single garment, making it the most expensive colour in the ancient world.

Design use

As a dark tone, it naturally lends itself to a grounding element in print design — covers, footers, section dividers. On screen it suits dashboards and interfaces where a serious tone matters.
