Why Violet?

Violet in interiors and dishes gives you a lot of possibilities! It is a color that can be mysterious, elegant, sensual as well as light. It is associated with prestige and gentleness at the same time. In spite to appearances, it is extremely universal! According to the Pantone Institute, it is a color that should encourage personal invention and creativity. Being a combination of red with a calm blue, it perfectly illustrates the social need to combine extremes and open up to the new.The violet color itself also has a rich history. It symbolizes power and luxury, and on the other hand, rebellion and artistic fervor of a person who likes to be surrounded by it. Violet is a color for connoisseurs of beauty and surprising details. One violet element is enough to obtain the effect of elegance and taste.

What color goes with Violet?
 

• Violet with white, grey, beige. In such a combination, purple will focus all attention on itself. If you place a violet-colored device against an off-white wall, you will get a very delicate and subtle effect that will work well in Provencal, as well as classic or modern interior.  
• Violet with brown, graphite or black. This combination is elegant but you must remember to use violet as a feature color only. 
• Violet with bright green. If you want a breath of freshness and exoticism, this combination is for you.

And when you choose the device… What you will put in it? For gourmets, we have a hint – violet/purple accent on the plate!

For the second course, add the purple potatoes to the meat and the violets to the salad. The purple accent on the plate will attract not only the youngest. When your kitchen is out of inspiration, add purple to your plate. Many studies confirm that colors have a real impact on human appetite. We suggest purple/violet products:

• Lavender is used mainly in French, Spanish and Italian cousines. Due to it’s intense smell it should be used in small amounts. A few lavender shoots can be used, for example, for roast mutton, fish stewed meat with vegetables or fish jelly. 
• Truffle potatoes, it turns out that due to the purple color, they have more benefits than ordinary potatoes. They get this color due to anthocyanins - natural dyes that have healing properties. Unlike other purple vegetables, truffle potatoes have a purple skin and center. Research also shows that purple potatoes have an anti-inflammatory effect and a beneficial effect on the system due to their high anthocyanin content. 
• Aubergines ideal for slimming diets as it is low in calories. 
• Red cabbage is an excellent source of protein, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins C, K, B1, B2, B6, A, and minerals such as potassium and, in smaller amounts, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper and zinc. 
• Red onions contain potassium, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, copper, zinc, as well as a number of B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin C. Remember that red onions are also low in calories.
