It seems that my idea to split Purple and Violet into separate months is causing confusion and anxiety throughout the blogging community [🤔]. As with any colour we all perceive them differently and add to that the calibration of your monitor or phone screen I suspect it is unlikely that any of us are seeing the same colours!
To try and help matters and because I don’t want to alienate or upset anyone who reads my blog I am declaring May open to whatever shade of purple or violet you wish to share. But violet will still have its own month, mainly because I can’t come up with another colour! But by then hopefully you will have all forgotten and forgiven me the traumatic beginning to May 😂
Darker shades
Lighter tints
Maybe these palettes will help!

“declaring May open to whatever shade of purple or violet you wish to share” — whew, because I’ll tell you, they all look “purple” to me! I may even join in now. 🙂
I think we all have our own perceptions of what purple looks like, but there are hundreds of different shades ranging from almost black to almost pink.
It’s a tricky one! I’ll bet you never expected to open such a can of worms. So to speak.
Haha, no, I should have put the two together, but then the pinker shades and bluer ones would still be controversial 😂
Should have gone for beige. 😉 ah, but then you’ve got that pesky range of yellow beige to grey beige. Tricky stuff!
Quite. Should have stuck with primary colours! 😂
Dangerous things, these challenges.
