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

Colour pairings

For palette building, violet finds its complement in yellow-green — a combination that feels both botanical and somewhat surreal. Softer companions include warm greys, dusty pinks, and aged golds.
