The Color Purple

Color is a creative tool.

It is used by so many creative disciplines it is often overlooked and taken for granted.

Each color has its attributes, associations and history–widespread and personal.

Purple is a rich blend of red and blue.

Associated often with royalty, its shades range from shy to bold and fun.

Lilac, lavender, amethyst, plum, violet, iris, heliotrope, pansy.
