About purple colors
Purple ranges from soft lavender and plum through mediumpurple and blueviolet to deep indigo and darkmagenta. It carries associations of craft, creativity and premium quality, and it is distinctive enough to anchor a brand without the over-familiarity of blue. The web's newest keyword, rebeccapurple (#663399), belongs here.
Purple's midtones are versatile for both text and fills, and it pairs well with warm neutrals, gold accents and soft pinks. Watch the boundary with blue and magenta — small hue shifts change the character a lot — and confirm contrast before using lighter lilacs for anything other than backgrounds.
