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

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.
