Ultra Violet
So, what does Ultra Violet say to us in 2018? In the first place, this color communicates to many; ingenuity and vision that points us to the future. Of course, David Bowie, Prince and Jimi Hendrix have led to inspiration for this color in their expression of individuality. Visit my Best Adult Halloween Costume post to see a glimpse of this color’s inspiration. With our political climate in disarray; many identify purple as a symbol of bipartisanship.
Additionally, there has been a mystical and spiritual vibe attached to this color. No doubt, this color is striking in exploring new technology and the galaxy. In essence, vivid purple is a color that expresses there is still more to come.
