Vogue fashion editor Francesca Burns has said that "historically purple was only worn by an elite few, but now it's for everyone. It is undoubtedly the colour of the collections." Mauve, a light purple is also trendy. Dulux call it “Carnivale” - a selection of soft purple to violet hues. Violet is also a combination of red and blue, but a little more-blue than purple. Some say violet can rebalance your life, remove obstacles, and help with depression.
Purple represents good judgment, rests the spirit and its connection with divinity and healing explain why it is used in meditation creating mystery and magic. It’s also thought to increase imagination and inspiration. Purple symbolizes nobility, ceremony and wisdom.
Purple has always been used by royalty and the Christian Church. In Japan it signifies wealth and influence, and the Imperial Chinese thought there is a secret purple area in heaven, near the North Star. In the USA, the Purple Heart is given to wounded brave soldiers – and in ancient Egypt, purple was the favorite colour of Cleopatra.
In feng shui, purple generates chi and is the colour of very deep water, representing wealth to the Chinese. This energy attracts opportunities of all kinds, including love.
Wearing purple gives a mystical, imaginative effect that can subliminally attract others. It’s a “cool” colour to wear these days, because it says you’re laid-back and not egotistical. It shouts luxury, wealth, and sophistication – as well as being feminine and romantic. If you want to feel special and unique then purple is the colour to wear.
However, too much purple, like blue, could bring moodiness – so don’t overdo it. Because purple is rare in nature and has an aura of mystery, it is favored by artists or anyone wanting to be different. Likewise, those who dislike purple tend to be practical, lack imagination and conform to society. They also tend to live for today, rather than in the past or future.
