Welcome guys back to another lecture in this one we're gonna be looking at the color purple.
I don't need to say we're going to be talking about you guys ready no so purple.
It is one of three secondary colors.
It's a combination of the balance in blue and the energy in red.
Too much can lead to an introspection and the wrong tone communicates something that's inexpensive and
ugly.
Something that looks cheap when using the wrong tone in certain formats.
When we look at the variations of purple we're going to see a bit more what I'm correlating to some
of the positive effects of purple psychic magical mysterious fantasy futuristic if everything for a
game style.
Or that you want to represent something that's very you know out there and ambitious and you know a
bit of mischief and mystery.
Purple is a great code to work with if you want to do something that's very corrupt immature impractical
pompous and even for social climbing purple is also a great color for that as well as that it correlates
to its negative effects see purple.
Positive and negative effects are very opposite of what they both are.
On one hand you example see let's say mystery and fantasy where a lot of RPG elements are definitely
you know a great way to showcase what purple color is in there.
Then on the other side of Spectrum You could also represent you know pompous or impractical that it
doesn't make sense that it's not really logical.
So that's why when it comes to purple using the right shades and tones is extremely important to showcase
exactly what you want your player to feel and what it what you want your objects represent.
So what does it represent.
Well purple could represent inspiration.
It's original and logical ideas are created without but with Violet see the colors Spurs their creative
juices to flow.
And this is great for brainstorming.
So whatever you want to sit down and you want to hash out an idea or really understand a certain concept
having purple in the room is a great way to spark that little imagination.
It also represents individuality.
So it is an unconventional color and original and concept see it does not like emulation and enjoy doing
its own thing one great artist that I referred to is Prince Prince.
Pretty much incorporated purple into his into his exact logo into his branding because he wanted to
be unconventional.
He took purple to the next level and he really showcased how unique his talents was compared to everybody
else.
He didn't want to copy with them what they were doing at the time.
One there was one thing that's all purple really helped him separate himself and create a really good
individuality from
it also represents spirituality.
Now it can assist in the spiritual aspects such as a prayer or meditation and against greater access
to our deeper subconscious spirituality with the representation of purple is a great way to have someone
communicate within themselves but negatively it can be used as for cults.
So having those darker shades of purple in social gatherings could really influence let's say a cult
cult mentality.
So how does it affect us.
Well one way is empathy compassion kindness and love are all traits that are shown through this color.
And it's also cynical so this color can also be skeptical at times whenever you're not when there is
some ways to be uncertain or skeptic about situation.
Purple is a great way to represent that in the area
it's also respectable see darker shades of this color represent royalty and wealth dating back decades.
So as you see on the right the Queen of England is showcasing that nice purples.
Shade you can see that it is something that is destined to be royal and respected
purples also impractical.
See this color creates a sense of imagination that clouds what truly is and not what it imagines it
to be.
So that's why you know well if you want to have someone being very confused or not understanding what's
going on purple is a great way to confuse them a bit.
A lot of games they use this type of tone to create an ambience of UN clarity inside someone's head.
This is great for some boss mechanics and certain games.
Well let's say you have to go into the mind of a creature.
This example Yorks are wrong world Warcraft where you go inside the brain and it has a very dark purple
shade.
You do it where you feel that you know you're not sure what's going on.
You could be a bit confused and a bit lost.
So you propose a great way to use in practical senses and that
it also could be immature.
It can encourage a fantasy life that is unrealistic in society but at the same time it's also mystical.
So this caller creates a sense of mysterious and all when paired with darker shades.
So as we look at the picture on the right this is a knight born elf in World of Warcraft.
This elf has a dark shades of purple.
So it is and it has that mystical essence to it.
When you look at this image you right away feel like OK while this is of otherworldly.
This is very you know magical incense but also mystical in a way because of how all the different shades
correlate to each other.
Same color different color palettes different hues and all of them.
So now we will get down to the variations of purple.
The first one I talk about is lavender seen as a light purple color that is associated with beautiful
things flowers butterflies things like that so if ever you want to showcase something that's you know
very beautiful and eyeing lavender is a great color to go with would get the color lilac.
Now this color implies immaturity superficiality and youthfulness is very extrovert and enthusiastic.
It is very close to the color pink but not so much that it would be pink is just a shade a couple of
shades lighter.
But it still implies the same thing as pink.
So very immature very blissful you know very like let's go out and have fun and do things and you having
that youthful bliss to it lilacs a great color to showcase on children inside of video games to imitate
that type of you know youthful ambience
amidst.
Now this the mystical shade of purple and represents a heightened sense of magic.
This color goes great would wizards and which is you know and say or crystals things like that.
This is a great color to go along with that so that it elevates our mystical belief in certain things
looking at Deep Purple.
Now this is related directly to a higher spiritual enlightenment.
And it also indicates arrogance and ruthlessness in some games having darker shades of purple associated
with high priests or with you know cult masters that goes hand-in-hand with how arrogant they become
and how ruthless they are to everyone else
and the last one in this is Plum.
Now this is a reddish purple hue it's old fashioned as in family traditions and it's a color of close
minded attitude and views.
So if ever you're from an old school family or you're from a first generation in whatever country plum
would pretty much represent you know that old school mentality of that you know get your hands dirty
work hard grind it out you know support your family type of family traditions and values you strong
morals you know getting married kids those old mentalities Purple Plum would actually be the best case
the best color to showcase that.
So let's say you won the game with parents that are old school having them were like or having some
essence of plump inside the room whenever they target that kid would have would have a great resemblance
to what this caller actually means.
And that's it guys for this lecture and I'll see you guys in the next one.
