Purple Sign Vinyl

Purple is often associated with luxury, power, wisdom, creativity, and magic — unsurprisingly, it is the balancing color between red and blue’s color psychologies. While red brings intensity and energy to the color, blue brings relaxation and stability, and together they make purple the perfect balance of the two.

What Does the Color Purple Mean?

Color psychologists says that purple “can have calming effects over the mind and nerves, it can be uplifting and can trigger creativity.” However, interestingly enough, less than 5% of the top 100 US companies use purple in their logo which means it can be a great opportunity for you and your clients. On the color spectrum, it can be a difficult color to work with because it is the very shortest frequency of wavelengths visible to the human eye. While purple doesn’t ‘pop’ in the same sense that we think of the attention grabbing nature of yellow or orange, it stands out because it is not used as often as red and blue logos are. It used to be one of the most expensive colors to reproduce, which is why it is sometimes associated with royalty. These days, this connotation often translates to premium products or services. Associations with wisdom lead it to be used in academic institutions and for search engines.

Is the Color Purple Right for You or Your Customers?

You have the ability to choose colors that will affect your client’s emotions and trigger their associations with your brand. Can you include purple in a webpage to show the strength and determination of the women’s movement? Could you add purple to give your next sign or decal a hint of mystery? Or will branding your next product design with purple give it the luxury treatment for your would-be royal customers? However you decide to use color, take the time to learn the history of its use so you know how you might be influencing your customers and their signage.
