Purple

Now I feel so connected to purple, one of my hated colors before.

Poly farewell, Ivy gave each of us a eyeshadow, mine was purple. I thought she would give me the blue one.

When I went for the "17 movie magic", I thought the Fasio girl would don on pink or peach eyeshadow for me coz I was wearing peach top, but she gave me purple.

I was looking for peeks, the design that caught my eyes was purple in color.

My purple 3/4 jeans was given to me coz Jia find it too loose and it became my favourite jeans.

I wanted a red specs, but the color lau beng chose looks a bit purplish.

Now I'm attracted to purple, and purple always seemed so much nicer compared to other colours. Like for my eyeshadows, I always prefer the purple over the pink or green one.

I wonder what's the effect of having too much purple around me? So I googled.

From desktoppub.about.com/cs/colorselection/p/purple.htm:
Royalty and Spirituality: Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, purple is associated with both nobility and spirituality. The opposites of hot red and cool blue combine to create this intriguing color.

Nature of Purple: Purple has a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers are often delicate and considered precious. Because purple is derived from the mixing of a strong warm and strong cool color it has both warm and cool properties. A purple room can boost a child's imagination or an artist's creativity. Too much purple, like blue, could result in moodiness.

Culture of Purple: The color of mourning for widows in Thailand, purple was the favorite color of Egypt's Cleopatra. It has been traditionally associated with royalty in many cultures. Purple robes were worn by royalty and people of authority or high rank. The Purple Heart is a U.S. Military decoration given to soldiers wounded in battle.

Using Purple: Deep or bright purples suggest riches while lighter purples are more romantic and delicate. Use redder purples for a warmer color scheme or the bluer purples to cool down.

Using Purple with Other Colors: A deep eggplant purple with neutral tans or beige is an earthy, conservative color combination with a touch of the mystery that purple provides. Green and purple can be a striking combination in deep or bright jewel tones or use lighter shades for a cheerful, springlike feel. Pink and purple has feminine appeal.

Violet is the color of purpose. Violet is associated with the Crown chakra (This links individual and universal).

Violet Energy
Violet is a combination of blue and red. Red is a focusing, dynamic and active energy while blue is cooling, calming and expansive. Violet brings a new dynamic to the expansion of blue and the activity of red. Red brings practicality to the undirected expansiveness of the blue, and allows more creative energy to emerge. For this reason, violet is associated with imagination and inspiration.

Violet is an important energy for those who use blue and indigo skills in the psychic field. The red in violet offers a grounding effect.
Put some violet in your life when you want:

  • to use your imagination to its fullest
  • to re-balance your life
  • to remove obstacles
  • to calm overactivity or to energize from depression

Seems like purple is a nice color after all.
