Color Palette: Pleasantly Purple

I think of purple as a fun color. Deep like amethyst or light like lilacs… Regal or soft. It comes in so many beautiful tints and shades.

All the other colors are just colors, but purple seems to have a soul. Purple is not just a noun and an adjective but also a verb — when you look at it, it’s looking back at you.
— Uniek Swain

I hope you enjoy this collection of Pleasantly Purple color palettes.
