Psychology

Mid violet is the colour of imagination: it unsettles easy categorisation, which is precisely its appeal.

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
