Purple paint has many connotations as it purple is one of those colours that blurs the line between masculinity and femininity being that the colour sits between the primary colours of blue and red on the colour spectrum. Greyer shades of lilac can add contemporary sophisticated air to your space and the bluer shades feel more modern, while pinker tones have more of a more romantic feel. Whatever feel you are seeking order a paint sample pot online from designer paint brands such as Zoffany, Designers Guild, Little Greene and Sanderson paints to ensure you have the correct tone for your home interior. For a softer, more informal feeling pair a purple paint with true neutral shades such as white, grey or even linen.
