Where purple sits on the color wheel
In the painter's red, yellow and blue model, purple is a secondary color, made by combining red and blue. Yellow lies directly across the wheel from it, so the two are complementary, the kind of pair that contrasts strongly.
Light, mid or deep
The purple that leads sets the weight of a scheme. Lilac and wisteria are light, amethyst and royal purple sit in the middle, and plum, Byzantium and purple itself are deep. Under More filters, choose Light purple, Mid purple or Deep purple to see one depth with every partner.
