Series: Color and Mood - Violet "Nails/Fails"

Violet has the shortest wave-length in the spectrum, often described as purple. As the last visible wave-length before the ultra violet ray, it has been linked with time, space and the cosmos. It takes awareness to a higher level of thought, encouraging meditation. As the color of royalty it has a long association of conveying luxury and quality, but too much or the wrong tone reads cheap and garish faster than any other color.

Violet: Spirituality
Positive Aspects: Awareness, vision, truth, quality, luxury
Negative Aspects: Introversion, decadence, suppression


Just a shot of a complex purple to energize the neutrals

...a little feminine, but works

A tolerable accent wall

....and this is where things go wrong....

Ditto

hmmm....

Hard not to make pastel versions a bit girly

Oh, stop...

Adorable girls bedroom

Great use of space! And check out the painted edges on the roman shade; love it!
