Purple encompasses a range of tones between red and blue, and as such, is not considered a primary color, because it is derived from two different primary shades. On the color wheel, purple falls between magenta and violet. The color purple is a charming hue that has an undeniable power, and as such, carries a wide array of connotations within the human world. The color can achieve both a masculine and feminine quality, and is versatile as both the main color in a decorative scheme, as well as a complimentary color. Purple canvas paintings are often able to strike just the balance between the many meanings carried by this color, and are a great way to introduce this color into your home.

Some of the many meanings associated with the color purple include an association with mourning that comes from sixteenth century England. In parapsychology, people who have an aura that appears to be purple in color are said to have a love of routine and ritual. In politics, in Eastern countries such as China, Vietnam, Laos and other neighboring countries, purple represents monarchism. In the modern western world, purple has also come to represent LGBTQ initiatives. The color has also found significance in the military around the world, as well as in literature and academics. Thus, using purple in your home as a major part of your decorative schemes can carry a wide range of meaning, and strike chords within many different people, with many different backgrounds.

Interior decorators well versed in the meanings of colors will tell you that purple is evocative of a number of positive states of mind and moods. These include nobility, spirituality, imagination, and from a strong affiliation with nature. The connection with nature is due to the sacred place that the color purple has in the natural world. It is the color of the lavender, violet, and lilac flowers, among many others. The delicate nature of these plants creates a precious mood in rooms that purple dominates.

Many artists attempt to commune with higher powers through their art, and because of the color purple's connection to spiritual realms (according to popular parapsychology as well as the ancient beliefs of feng shui) this color is a very powerful one. According to feng shui, because of the power of purple, it should be used as an accent color. Purple paintings are ideal because they provide just the right amount of the color purple, without overwhelming décor. The use of purple can add passion to a space, and with the use of appropriate complimentary colors can create a truly eclectic mood within any home or work space.
