Description
Smoky lavender like twilight clouds over a field of heather, soft and contemplative with gentle elegance.
Psychology
Purple tends to feel imaginative, a little mysterious and introspective. Softened with gray, it turns calm and understated, easy to live with.
Meaning
Purple has long stood for royalty and luxury, because its dye was once rare and costly. It is also linked with spirituality and creativity.
