THE EFFECT OF COLORS – VIOLET


Violet is very cool and unpredictable color that looks easy but hard to use. It looks good to be displayed in stores, but the moment you take it home and try, it becomes very challenging. Violet looks good on blondes and red heads, but on pale and dark skins it gives a completely ‘say no to me’ look. It is harder to use in accessories. Violets were once seasons for the royals and today too, it evokes elements of magic and surprise.
Subdued shades of amethyst and lilac are getting popular in women’s wardrobe these days. Pale violet is dreamy and if you deeper it’s hue to red violet it projects sophistication.
When used with yellow, green and orange, it becomes whimsical and clownish. Yellow, the compliment of violet balances it but it is practically impossible to wear it as a combination.
Secondary colors pair well with violet. Using red with violet is a vibrant, sensual and gives a daring effect. When used with grey, it speaks out refinement and urban sophistication. Pale violet with floral print as day wear has always been popular with older women. Now lavender blue is gaining popularity amongst all age groups.
Violet as evening color in light chiffons, sheer stripes, ethnic pattern gauges is sophisticated in warm climates. Satin in simple silhouettes are statements for this regal color.
