Rich Rather Than Kitsch: Why Choose a ktCOLOR Purple or Violet Shade

The effects of purple and violet paint colors are completely dependent on the quality and the origin of the pigments. With ktCOLOR, you’re not just choosing a shade—you’re embracing a legacy of handcraftsmanship and natural sophistication. Unlike synthetic, overly bright purples and violets that tend to look flat, artificial, or kitschy, ktCOLOR’s purple and violet paint colors are loaded with natural pigments. They are full-spectrum colors with depth, richness, and timeless elegance.

A clear, light color with a delicate hint of lilac.

Violet is an \"unarchitectural\" color, Le Corbusier famously said. That’s true, as we found out while developing this color. First recipes looked as beautiful as lilac in the light, but dense and cool, some of them even unpleasant and brownish in the shadows. This formulation achieves a fine balance: it looks dazzling in the light and graceful in the shadows. Use this paint color to offset dark, black or even white objects in spaces designed to appear neither cool and bluish, nor gray and achromatic, but tinged with fresh promise, like Spring lilac.
