“Purple is the color of confidence and strength, often associated with a woman I have always been fascinated by — Cleopatra. I like purple in its pink lilac hues or dark, like eggplant. We often use it when designing: lavender with oatmeal, plum with cornflower blue, or violet and navy. My garden is full of purple, from salvia and delphiniums to pansies and violets.” — Tory
