A mysterious colour, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. Derived from the mixing of hot red and cool blue means this intriguing colour boasts both warm and cool properties. A deep eggplant purple with neutral tans or beige is an earthy, conservative colour combination. Green and purple can be a striking mix in deep or bright jewel tones or use lighter shades for a cheerful, festive feel. And pink and purple often provide a delicate feminine appeal.
