Tyrian Purple
Photo: ©Christoph Schuepp, Zürich. Text: Katrin Trautwein, 225 Farben, 2017 ©Birkhäuser Verlag GmbH, Basel.
A tiny gland in the shell of ¨spiny Murex mollusks secretes a liquid from which the ancient Greeks produced a precious, purple dye. A total of 10,000 snails yielded scarcely one gram of the color, making it so expensive that purple became the status symbol of the powerful. The Pope wore a robe of purple interwoven with golden threads. Nero allegedly beheaded thieves who wore it illegally. Our Tyrian purple is produced from magenta and ultramarine. It is strictly vegan and not reserved for kings, but it is just as mighty in its spatial presence.
Rich Rather Than Kitsch: Why Choose a ktCOLOR Purple or Violet Shade
The effects of purple and violet paint colors are completely dependent on the quality and the origin of the pigments. With ktCOLOR, you’re not just choosing a shade—you’re embracing a legacy of handcraftsmanship and natural sophistication. Unlike synthetic, overly bright purples and violets that tend to look flat, artificial, or kitschy, ktCOLOR’s purple and violet paint colors are loaded with natural pigments. They are full-spectrum colors with depth, richness, and timeless elegance.

The luminous blue vaulted ceiling of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua was created with natural ultramarine, a hue so radiant it seems to emit light from the vault itself.

How our colors are made

The pigment ultramarine, meaning "beyond the sea," was originally derived from the semi-precious gemstone lapis lazuli. The finest lapis stones were sourced from Afghanistan, a region beyond the Mediterranean, inspiring its name. This deep, magical blue can also be synthesized using China clay, calcite, and sulfur, resulting in a purer, more vibrant shade. Today, many iconic works of art rely on this synthetic, mineral-based pigment. The luminous blue vaulted ceiling of the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua was created with natural ultramarine, a hue so radiant it seems to emit light from the vault itself. Similarly, Karl Friedrich Schinkel's stage design for the Queen of the Night's Hall in Mozart’s The Magic Flute (1816) was crafted using lapis lazuli. In the 1950s, Yves Klein’s monochrome masterpieces made synthetic ultramarine blue
