36 Types of Light Purple

 , May 24, 2019 updated on August 27, 2020
Light purples are purple colors that have high contrast with black. These are typically tinted with white. Historically, purple dyes were expensive such that they were often used to signal social status by institutions and individuals. For example, the Roman Emperors wore purple garments dyed with Tyrian purple, an expensive dye made from murex sea-snails. A light purple dye known as mauve was the first chemical dye to be marketed beginning in 1859. This quickly democratized purple and became so popular that the 1890s were referred to as the mauve decade. Light purple is perceived as a feminine color that is also somewhat peculiar and loud. The following are common types of light purple.
