What does the color purple mean?
An enigmatic color, purple gives off a mysterious aura that evokes the spirit, feelings and the strange. A symbol of spirituality and religion, it is worn by bishops and, in the Catholic liturgy, marks the seasons of Advent and Lent.
A blend of softness and dreams, it soothes and reassures: it brings serenity to those who have it in their home. Its flip side: melancholy, loneliness and secrecy. For a long time, it was the color of half-mourning, worn when black began to lighten.
👉 Purple was long a luxury, so costly were its dyes. In 1856, an 18-year-old English student, William Perkin, stumbled upon mauveine, the first synthetic dye: purple then took over Victorian fashion.
