A passion for purple

By Sister Snog
Purple mood boardYin and Yang
Sister Snog loves purple.  The deep purple haze. Rich. Regal with a splash of ceremony and a sense of occasion. Royal with a hint of aristocracy.  It sits between the blue hues of the Yin and the red hot sizzle of the Yang. Combine the two. Hey Presto! Sisters Snog's catwalk colour palette.

Hello Sweetie
Dip into the purple palette. You'll find Violet Creams and Parma Violets. Quixotic confectionary. If your taste buds can handle it. Rather like Sister Snog. An acquired taste for a refined palette.

Lavender and lilac
Lavender water evokes a sense of elegance. Victorian charm. Genteel ladies with frilly parasols. A walled garden draped in a gown of wisteria. Sipping chilled lilac wine in the gazebo. Humming a little ditty. Lavender's Blue.  Dilly. Dilly. For instance. And dancin'. If yer askin'. I'm askin'. In the rain. Purple rain of course!

Marvellous mulberry
Think purple. Think mulberry. Looks like a cross between an elongated blackberry. A robust raspberry.  Swollen longenberry. Certainly not your 'Average Bear Boo-Boo!' And did you know Buck Pal now stands where there was once a fine mulberry orchard. Then of course there's 'Peace, Love, Mud...and Mulberry'. The epitomy of understated Bo-ho luxury with roots in Biba-land. A peculiar juxtaposition. Rather like Sister Snog.

Mighty mauve
Think purple. Think mauve. First named in 1856 by chemist Sir William Henry Perkins. While he was tinkering in the lab late one night an unexpected residue caught his eye which turned out to be the first aniline dye.  It became known as Perkin's mauve and  the title of his biography Mauve: How One Man Invented a Colour That Changed the World.

Dress to Impress
Colour plays a key component of a brand's personality. Take a step back to think about what your brand colour says about you.  And be sure to dress it in a colour that speaks volumes.
