Purple is known as a noble color that symbolizes authority, such as royalty, royalty, and nobility, regardless of whether in the East or West. For this reason, it has long been used as a color to express an image of nobility, luxury, and elegance. The coexistence of two opposing colors, “red for movement and blue for stillness,” gives purple a duality, which is why it is associated with a mysterious image. While deep purple in particular stimulates the senses and inspires, its characteristics as a calming and heavy color can backfire and make it look peculiar and difficult to handle, so care must be taken when matching colors.
