This week’s Home Tones sings the praises of violet. It’s Adelle’s favourite shade of her favourite colour, purple – just the right balance of red & blue. It looks great against all shades of grey – so in addition to paint and wallpaper, it works well with natural stone, silvery wood, stainless steel, zinc and concrete.
A rich, regal shade – up until the Victorian era, it was so expensive to produce the dye, only royalty were allowed to wear purple clothes.
Pair it with metallics, grass green or brilliant white; canary yellow clashes brilliantly against it… in a good way!
