A favorite purple flower, due to its fragile-yet-hardy appearance and beautiful coloring, is the purple orchid. The color orchid can actually range from light to darker, but the wall color here is a lighter orchid color. It has a light-hearted vibe and even feels floral, despite the fact that there’s not a flower or even a curved shape to be seen. Light purples, therefore, can be quite contemporary when paired with crisp lines and geometric forms.
How to Make Light Purple Color: A Step-by-Step Guide
The simplest way to create light purple is by blending red and blue together. Adjust the ratio of these two colors to achieve the desired shade, from pale lavender to a vibrant light purple. Start with a small amount of each color and gradually add more until you reach your preferred hue.
Chapter 3: Playing with Secondary Colors
You can also mix secondary colors to achieve light purple. Secondary colors are created by mixing two primary colors. In this case, mixing equal parts of red (a primary color) and blue (another primary color) will yield a secondary color – purple. By adjusting the intensity of red and blue, you can create various shades of light purple.
Depending on your creative project, you may be working with different mediums like paints, digital color, or even light. Here’s how you can create light purple in various contexts:
Chapter 4.1: Acrylics and Watercolors
For painters, light purple can be created by blending red and blue acrylic or watercolor paints. Experiment with different shades of red and blue to achieve a light purple that suits your artistic vision.
Chapter 4.2: Oil Paints
In the realm of oil paints, red and blue can be combined to produce a wide range of light purples, from muted lavenders to vibrant violets. The flexibility of oil paints allows for nuanced control over the shade.
Chapter 4.3: Digital Color Mixing
In the digital realm, colors are represented using hexadecimal values. The hexadecimal code for light purple is typically a combination of higher red values and lower blue values. Graphic design software and color pickers provide convenient tools to mix and create any color, including light purple. Adjust sliders to manipulate red and blue values and witness the transformation.
Chapter 4.4: Blending Light
Chapter 4.4.1: RGB Color Model
In additive color mixing, the primary colors are red, green, and blue (RGB). Combining these colors in varying intensities produces a wide spectrum of hues, including light purple.
Chapter 4.4.2: Creating Light Purple Light
To achieve light purple light, balance the intensity of red and blue light by adding them together. The resulting combination stimulates our eyes to perceive the color light purple.
Chapter 5: The Psychology of Light Purple
Color psychology explores how colors affect human behavior, emotions, and perceptions. Light purple has its own symbolism and emotional impact:
Chapter 5.1: Symbolism and Emotions
Light purple has long been associated with nobility, spirituality, and creativity. It evokes feelings of luxury, mystery, and introspection, making it a versatile color in design and aesthetics.
Chapter 5.2: Cultural Significance
Different cultures attribute varying meanings to light purple. In Western cultures, it’s often linked to royalty and luxury, while in Eastern cultures, it represents harmony and balance. Understanding these cultural nuances can help you use light purple effectively in your projects.
Plum.
Because red and blue are such polar opposites (red is hot, blue is cold), their combination into purple is aesthetically intriguing. There are three distinct purples: Red-Purple, Purple, Blue-Purple. Red-purples are warm, blue-purples are cool, and pure purple is neutral. Plum is on the redder side of the spectrum and plays an important part in warming up its surroundings.
Amethyst.
Purple has long symbolized more than royalty; it’s almost evocative of the supernatural, the mysterious, the deeply spiritual, the magical. More than any other color, purple embodies these larger-than-self emotions and ideas. Amethyst is one color that does appear in nature, albeit rarely, in gemstone form. Use with plenty of cool tones to create a transformative space.
Boysenberry.
“Purple’s rarity in nature and the expense of creating the color has given purple a supernatural aura for centuries”. This boysenberry backdrop, on the walls and floor, surrounding a cool grey-green couch is both an unexpected and refined color palette, completed with the organic-feeling print behind the sofa.
