Redpurple

Redpurple refers to a hue on the color spectrum that lies between red and purple. It describes a family of warm purplish reds that can range from vivid magenta-tinged crimsons to deeper plum shades. Because it is not a standardized color name, redpurple can vary widely in appearance depending on context, lighting, and the color model used.

In color spaces used in design, redpurple is usually described by hue values around 320 to 350 degrees on a typical color wheel, with high saturation and variable lightness. In HSL or HSV models, common representations include HSL(320–340, 50–85%, 30–60%) or HSV equivalents. The key characteristic is a blend of red and blue components yielding a warm purple with a red undertone. It is not a spectral color, and its precise tone shifts with saturation and brightness.

Applications of redpurple appear in branding, fashion, and interiors to convey energy, luxury, creativity, or drama. It can be paired with neutrals like charcoal, ivory, or metallics, and with other purples or reds. Accessibility considerations advise ensuring sufficient contrast when redpurple is used for text on backgrounds or vice versa.

Related colors include red, crimson, magenta, raspberry, plum, and burgundy, which occupy adjacent regions on the color spectrum. Because campaigns and devices render colors differently, designers often specify exact values via hex or RGB or Pantone codes when a specific redpurple appearance is required.
