How to wear violet
A violet piece goes with gray, black, white or jeans. With yellow or mustard you get a bold contrast. For shoes, black, silver and nude are safe. Silver jewelry complements its cool tone.
Violet in home decor
Violet works best in decor as an accent: throw pillows, flowers, artwork or an armchair. Pair it with white, gray and silver details. A touch of mint green or yellow balances it. In bedrooms, use softer shades.
Violet in graphic and web design
Violet conveys creativity and innovation, which is why it's common in tech and youthful brands. It has good contrast with white text; use it with a yellow or green accent.
What to avoid
Avoid pairing it with intense red or orange, because the look gets heavy. With similar purples and no contrast it looks confusing.
