With such a vast range of violets available from Albany, we delve into the world of violets to show you how you can use violet paints for your next interior decorating project.

Violet Colour Psychology

Violet has always had regal connotations as the ingredients used to make purple dyes and paints were the most expensive. Because of this, royalty would often wear purple to signify their wealth and has remained popular ever since!
