Jury is out - Don’t paint your home purple Dummy

Purple Is Not the Color to Paint Your Home (We Said What We Said)
By Color Pop Paint Co.

Look—we love bold choices. We are Color Pop Paint Co., after all. We cheer for daring accents, statement walls, and colors that make your neighbors slow down as they drive by. But today, we must stage a gentle, humorous intervention.

Because purple is not the color to paint your home. And we’re here to explain why.

1. Purple Can’t Decide Who It Is

Purple is having an identity crisis. Is it royal? Mysterious? Playful? Moody? A grape? An eggplant? A wizard’s robe?

When your living room can’t decide whether it’s hosting a medieval coronation or a children’s birthday party, guests get…confused. And confused guests never stay long enough to compliment your throw pillows.

2. It Ages About as Well as Milk

That deep plum you loved in 2012? It now screams “Pinterest Board That Time Forgot.” Trends come and go, but purple leaves a permanent “this felt like a good idea at the time” energy.

Neutral colors whisper. Purple shouts—and not always in a flattering tone.

3. Lighting Turns Purple Into a Villain

Morning light? Lavender.
Afternoon sun? Barney.
Evening lamps? Haunted castle.

Purple reacts to lighting like it’s auditioning for multiple roles in a very confusing play. The same wall can look calming at 10 a.m. and emotionally unsettling by dinner.

4. It’s Harder to Match Than You Think

Purple doesn’t “go with” things—it tolerates them. Your couch, rug, art, and curtains all have to sign a peace treaty just to coexist.

And heaven help you if you try to change furniture later. Suddenly you’re shopping based on what won’t fight your walls.

5. It Does Weird Things to People

Purple rooms have been known to:

• Make food look suspicious

• Make skin tones look…ill

• Make guests ask, “So…what inspired this?”

If your walls spark therapy-session-level questions, it might be time to reconsider.

The Verdict

Purple is fabulous—in small doses. A pillow. A vase. A dramatic front door (we might allow that). But an entire room? A whole house?

That’s a bold choice best left to royalty, magicians, and animated dinosaurs.

If you want color without the commitment issues, Color Pop Paint Co. has vibrant blues, confident greens, playful corals, and bold neutrals that won’t haunt you under different lighting conditions.

We’ll help you pick a color you’ll still love after the novelty wears off.

Bold color. Zero regrets.
