Dark Violet - No. 40

Dark Violet is the color equivalent of walking into a room, saying nothing, and still being the most interesting person there. It is rich, intense, and slightly dramatic in the best way, like velvet curtains, late night thoughts, and that one friend who always wears black and somehow looks expensive.

This pigment has real depth. Not “cute purple” depth. More like “I might write a novel tonight” depth. It glides beautifully on paper, layers like a dream, and when you mix it with other colors it doesn’t disappear politely. It stays present. It has opinions.

Use Dark Violet when your painting needs contrast, shadow, mystery, or a little bit of attitude. It’s perfect for deep florals, night skies, moody backgrounds, and those tiny dark details that make everything else look more alive. And yes, it blends beautifully with other colors, but it also looks amazing on its own, because some shades don’t need a buddy system.

Your art will thank you for it. And if it doesn’t. Your art is lying.
