Color Vision 2009 – Purples
Because of where we live and which university is in Lawrence, we often don’t have much interest in purple. But that doesn’t mean we should ignore this traditional color in our decorating. Nationwide, there is not much change in this color from year to year in consumer interest.
Most of the movement in this color is from red-purple to blue-purple or back to
red-purple. It certainly isn’t a volume selling color and, in the lighter tones, often appeals to the youth market.
Watch how this color is moving from blue-based lavender to a red-based version that is now a raspberry-like color – almost the new burgundy. Gray, chocolate, and black look very sharp with this color. The deeper raspberries will become a Victorian purple.
