What purple means in branding
Creativity and luxury — rare enough to be memorable. We stock 34 purple shades across 2,094 products.
What purple says about a brand
Purple has carried associations of royalty and luxury since the dye was genuinely expensive, and it has picked up creativity, imagination and wisdom along the way. Deep purples read as premium and serious; lighter lilacs read as gentle and creative. It is uncommon in corporate branding, which is precisely what makes it memorable.
Who uses purple on branded merchandise
Purple suits creative agencies, education, beauty and wellness, and any brand deliberately avoiding the blue-gray corporate default. It is also strongly associated with several health awareness campaigns, which is worth checking before a large run.
Before you send artwork
Printing on purple
Deep purple behaves like a dark color and needs a light imprint. It is also one of the harder colors to match across dye lots, so if purple is the brand color, order the whole quantity in one run rather than topping up later.
Check your imprint against a specific shade in the contrast checker, or read the artwork guidelines for what a printer needs.
