Color Psychology

True purple has been the color of royalty for millennia because Tyrian purple dye was extraordinarily rare and expensive. It represents luxury, creativity, and visionary thinking. Purple stimulates problem-solving and artistic expression, bridging the physical energy of red with the calm stability of blue.
