Color psychology
As it was already mentioned, Amaranth Deep Purple is a type of purple color. In its meaning, purple is associated with mystery, feminine qualities, magic and royalty. Purple is closely associated with the transcendent and the thoughtful, as well as intellect and creativity in general. Purple is one of the rarest colors in nature, which is why it can be employed to highlight particular parts of a website, as users tend to notice it more than other colors. Being viewed as feminine , purple is often used in cosmetics and beauty industry.
Overall, purple is a rather specific color and it is not often seen in website color palettes, unless there is a color-coded system present. As it was already mentioned, the most widespread use of the color purple is in female target audience oriented websites, such as beauty store or women’s magazine sites. This is partly due to the fact that purple is women’s second most popular color according to multiple research and it is almost never mentioned as a favourite color amongst men.
It is still important to remember, however, that the meaning of purple color, and thus also Amaranth Deep Purple, often depends on personal associations and preferences. It means that if used creatively, it can be employed for any marketing and branding purpose.

How to Use Purple Paint
A very pale lilac paint looks at home in almost any space, creating a nearly neutral scheme with a just-tangible twist – try Calluna to transform home offices and communal rooms into minimal yet inspiring spaces. Light to mid-toned purples like Sugared Almond and Brassica are great fun for kids’ and teenagers’ rooms, while the richness and depth of Brinjal, Pelt and Paean Black make for thoroughly grown-up dining rooms, living rooms and master bedrooms.

Between them, our three shades of light purple paint can create a whole range of looks and feels. Delicate Calluna treads the line between purple and grey, making it an unexpected yet fitting choice for this elegant dining room. Try it with a much darker trim colour, as our Colour Consultant has done here with Mahogany, for a stylish, high contrast look that keeps the whole effect from being too “pastel”.
For fun kids’ rooms and entertaining spaces, try our more pink-toned Archive colour Sugared Almond alongside bright yellow accents (yes, really!), while for older kids’ rooms, Brassica strikes the perfect balance between playful and grown-up.

Deep purple paint works wonders in spaces of all sizes. In this open plan home, Paean Black creates an intimate living area that feels separate from the bright and airy dining space, adding structure and interest. In an attic bathroom, Brinjal enhances the room’s distinctive shape and cosy feel, making for a luxurious little escape. It can be tempting to go for white or grey in compact rooms like this one, but embracing low light and small spaces with a luxurious chocolate, plum, navy or dark purple paint colour can be much more rewarding, so don’t be afraid to go bold!
