Thank you for the amazing introduction to Purple Week @xincinsin. I did my grocery shopping today in La Legende du Poisson Corail. There is quite a lot of lavender in this CW.

I've been going through my scarf collection and I'm finding that a number of them have purple or lavender accents. It combines so well with my favorite color palettes. Looking forward to selecting outfits to wear this week.

[Redbirdhermes]

This is beautiful on you RBH! I watched this on the bay for some time but am still unsure whether purple works for me. Can I trouble you for a flat pic or two? I definitely want a Grand Prix someday, congratulations!

Thank you, Foxy. I got mine from The Real Real. It came all wadded up in a bag. It is currently hanging out, but here it is when I first opened the mailing bag. I'm happy that it has no perfume odors. I'm delighted to add this Ugo Gattoni to my collection.

I love to wear purple and pink during Advent and can’t think of a purplier purpler than my Dancing Pearls... and, it’s so festive!

The sophisticated purple of Galops Volantes


Marvelous purple touches of Carré Kantha



One of my favorite details of Peuple du Vent is the purple dancing gypsy at the corner and the various other purple accents throughout the design

Hello Dancing Pearls twin! I love your Fleurs Indiennes!

Purple is the colour representing creativity and we have certainly had a creative week sussing out the source inspiration for our scarf designs. Appropriately, we now celebrate purple shades and tones.

Purple Passion
From the faintest lavender to deepest raisin
Purple garments historically have been associated with royalty because it is not a dye easily procured. Thousands of sea snails or sea urchins had to be harvested and processed to produce purple dye. The value of the costly colour rivalled that of the spices we explored a few weeks ago.

For the fairytale wedding of Charles & Diana, H issued Ich Dien in royal colours of blue and purple. This is the purple cw with an ombre effect, dark purple border lightening to a pale lavender in the centre.

All brides are princesses for a day and, for my wedding, I had a bouquet of cattleya orchids - creamy white with a luscious fuschia purple heart, like those in the bottom left corner of this photo. The other purple orchid is the Vanda Miss Joaquin which is the national flower of Singapore. The last flower is the dark purple-hearted blossom of the passion fruit, vines of which climb heavily laden on a neighbour's wall.

I like purple flowers, and here are a couple of scarves with purple blossom which captured my heart.
Au Coeur de la Vie which also has a bird with violet plumage. The mod shot shows it worn with black, as I was trying out @Living.la.vida.fifi's suggestion to make the border disappear by wearing a scarf with a matching top.

On the left, Dessins d'Orchidees in variegated shades of purple.
Purple complements blue well, which is great for me as one-third of my wardrobe is denim or chambray. Against the same shirt, C'est le Fete which sports a deep purplish plum in the background.View attachment 4928726
Qatari Oryx, a grail for me, has grape purple from dark to light. Designer Dmitri R has rung the changes further by using a selection of fonts which play with the intensity of the purple.
View attachment 4928732
And lastly my scarf mail from a few days ago: Grande Marine. The boats are in two shades of lilac and a dark purple is used for the bow and stern.

Let's relax this week, let our creative juices flow and seek out the purple in our scarves!

Thank you for such a beautiful intro!

I wanted to share something I learned only recently. I took up painting as a pandemic project, and I am in the process of assembling a palette. As such, I have been researching colors and pigments, and I finally learned the difference between purple and violet. Perhaps this is obvious to some of you, but it was new information, and I thought I would share.

Violet is actually a spectral color -- meaning it is a color of the rainbow. In the English-speaking world, kids learn the acronym ROY G BIV -- where 'V' is for Violet. (The abbreviation itself is actually somewhat controversial because the 'I' is for Indigo, a color many optical scientists do not recognize, but that is a discussion for another day). To make the matters more confusing, Newton initially called the last color of the optical spectrum 'violet,' then he switched to 'violet-purple,' then to just 'purple.'

So what is purple then? Purple is a color resulting from a mixture of red and blue -- and violet. In 'real life,' we often mix them up. Depending on the culture, purple can be seen as more 'red' and violet can be seen as more 'blue.'

One more art comment -- in 1874, the alternative Salon took place by the Impressionists. The thing that shocked the world the most was the color purple -- or violet. Violet shadows in particular were mocked by everyone. Prior to that, classic artists used Sepia, Van Dyke Brown, black, and similar colors to paint shadows. The Impressionists argued that the shadows are any color by black. Monet loved purple shadows -- his argument was that violet was the opposite of yellow, the color of sunlight, so it made perfect sense to use it as a shadow color. That is quite obvious in his haystack series (I got the attached image from Sotheby's).

It is interesting that the violet shadows are what the art critics latched on to -- but at the time, that was truly shocking! In painting like that, the Impressionists literally changed the course of modern art -- these days, no one is shocked when shadows are purple or water is yellow.

A truly glorious array of purples!!!

Fleuri is a stunner!

Thank you! Sometimes I am still so surprised when a "pale" or more neutral oriented scarf looks good on me!

These are wonderful, bunny. Haven't seen that cw of jungle love before. Very pretty! And I love your Cavalcadour Fleuri!

Thank you Awillow! It was a long hunt for this one. I'm twins with Croisette on these!

Dancing Pearls is definitely the purpliest of purples. And that Fleurs d'I is amazeballs. (Either amazeballs is now considered a word, or I use it too much because autocorrect doesn't even try to fix it...)

Love every bit of this. Color theory is cool stuff.
