Also below is a purple color chart which sets out the main shades from light to dark. It doesn’t include every shade of purple, but it gives you an idea of the spectrum.

Purple Color Chart
Trend Chart
Below is the trend chart for different rooms. Interestingly, “purple bedroom” is the most popular, which makes sense. You may not want your “public” space purple, but you can go color crazy with your bedroom and have some fun with it. Besides, changing colors in a bedroom is a lot easier than in a kitchen or bathroom (especially if cabinetry is purple… not so easy or inexpensive to change that).
Purple Interior Color Examples
1. Purple Dining Rooms
Purple color schemes are perfect for creating a luxurious and elegant atmosphere in a dining room. Many people associate the purple with royalty. Purple dining areas are unique and special. The colors that are used in a dining area create a lasting impression on the diner, and this is particularly the case for the color purple. Dinner guests will always remember your dining room space if you choose purple as your color theme.

2. Purple Primary Bedrooms
Purple rarely works well as a dominant color. Its primary design use is in the details and the accent pieces. That being said, using purple as an accent wall in a primary bedroom can be very pleasing. When done properly you allow for a multitude of colors to shine through in accents. Keeping this in mind when picking the color palette will come in handy. Softer shades of purple open up your color wheel to yellow, green and blue.

3. Purple Primary Bathrooms
A purple color scheme gives off positive vibrations and changes the whole feel of the room. Purple is known to look more elegant and luxurious to the eye. Many fancy hotels and restaurants use purple in their color schemes for this reason. Lighter shades of purple promote feelings of calmness and relaxation, similar to blue. However, the red inside it keeps it from feeling cold. Darker shades of purple promote a more creative and romantic mood.

4. Purple Kitchen
Purple isn’t a color that’s meant to dominate your kitchen; it doesn’t have enough light reflecting ability to make for a pleasant area, and it’s a bit distracting to be everywhere at once. Purple is a color that you can use to add a splash of color to an area that needs a little bit of perk-up. If you have a table that’s a beige or wooden hue and lacks a nice texture to tie it together, try a purple placemat or table runner. Purple works well when it’s kept to one object that’s in a place where there aren’t many other colors that stand out. That way, you’ll get the most out of purple’s subtle yet cheerful color.

5. Purple Living Room
Even if you don’t see a lot of living room styles that use purple as a dominant color, it doesn’t mean you can’t use it in your preferred design. While purple is more likely to complement designs like Victorian, Eclectic, or Contemporary, there’s no reason you can’t try to make it work in other designs. If you’re living room is small, you may want to use a lighter shade of purple. This can make the room feel bigger (you can also paint one wall as an accent wall). Darker shades of purple may work best in larger living rooms, especially if you’re trying to make the room feel more comfortable and cozy.
