Psychology

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

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.

Colour pairings
