Psychology

Dark violets carry associations of mystery, luxury, and depth — historically linked to royalty when purple dye was extraordinarily costly.

History

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

When it comes to colour harmony, pair this violet with gold and cream for a rich, considered palette, or with sage and natural linen for something quieter and more contemplative.
