They say the imaginative dream in purple. Just kidding, no they don’t.
That being said, there are links that show that the colour PURPLE is great to get those creative + imaginative juices flowing.
In kindergarten, we’re taught that purple is the love child (okay, maybe not in those exact words) of red and blue. In a similar way, purple meshes the vibrance and passion of red with the calming feels of blue. Thus, making it a great colour to inspire your mind.
From a colour psychology perspective, shades of purple helps to relax and calm the mind. You feel more at ease.
I find that the best ideas come in the washroom/shower/when you’re about to fall asleep. In all those situations, you’re mind is very relaxed, therefore if purple does the same trick to your brain- you’ll *probably* be more creative.
Time to paint my room purple.
If you imagine a field filled with Lavender, it’s a pretty relaxing thought, and funny enough, the smell of Lavender actually has a relaxation property to it.
The colour purple represents a lot of things- royalty, wisdom, wealth, creativity, peace and spirituality. Individuals who love the colour purple are known to stand out- they want to be unique + different from the crowd, they’re generous, creative (lets combine those two- you’re generous in spreading your creativity) and rejoice in being a free spirit. They’re a scattered thinker- therefore are very careful to not over stretch themselves.
Everytime I see somebody wearing purple, or if i look at myself in purple, I have to admit – I do feel a wave of calmness and sweetness that comes with it.
How do you see purple?
