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.

Surface colors are all too often assessed in terms of the laws that govern colored light. This simplification, which is central to color measurement, has allowed researchers to develop color theories that need not concern themselves with pigments. On the downside, valuable knowledge about the relationships between matter, light, space, and vision has been lost to architecture. This graceful color was developed to pay tribute to all of these aspects.
