With its bold blue-base tone, this vivid shade of purple emits a complex feeling of the cosmos. Purples have always had a mystical element to them, but they have also been emblematic for artistry, individuality and brilliance. It is near impossible to think of Ultra Violet and not be reminded of the musical icon Prince, who has his own official Pantone purple named after him. The High Priest of Pop, Prince broke societal boundaries through his shocking lyrics and unapologetic refusal to be anyone besides himself, all the while playing an Ultra Violet guitar and wearing purple head to toe. His manifestation of Ultra Violet reveals how this daring color spurs individuals to discover their own uniqueness and inspire them to never stop pushing forward.
