Purple, lilac, violet, lavender, magenta...

Since ancient times, the color purple - has been a symbol of power and piety.
In those times purple dye was very expensive, so robes of purple indicated the royal family
Shades of purple are associated with sacred knowledge and magic. As a general rule, in many cartoons, drawing and films the apparel of fairies, elves and fairy tale creatures are in shades of purple.

Purple - is an original color of nature, you can find it easily in many flowers,  vegies, gems, insects, sea creatures etc.

 

I love this color -  rich palette, bright effect and variety.

Cherry Garden PR manager Choila does not mind purple also
