The Color Purple

Friday evening, NBC’s Making a Difference, did a segment on the Purple Songs Can Fly Project. You can find more about this project here. Following is the meaning of the color purple from their site.

“Purple can activate a child’s creativity and imagination.

Purple is associated with…

Courage, Confidence, Conquering, Protection, Safety, Mastery, Dignity, Strength, Power, Creativity, Wisdom, Intuition, Understanding, Gratitude, Healing, Spirituality, Empathy and the sense of service to others.

A combination of blue and red, purple is often considered the ideal color.

Blue is calming and expansive, while red is active and grounding. Red brings focus to the expansiveness of blue, and allows creativity to emerge. For this reason, purple is associated with inspiration and imagination.

Purple is said to link the individual and the universal.

Many children love the color purple.”

We, at The Purple Cow Bookstore, want to say thank-you, not only to those who are involved in the Purple Songs Can Fly Project, but to all those who work with children. Thank-you for making a difference in a child’s life.
