Color of the year.

I’m not really a fan of purple. For those who are hopefully there will be more options in the future. Purple shades can be hard to come by in the scrapbook world.

Then again, does scrapbook design ever reflect the Pantone color? I know it can take quite a while since designs are printed far ahead but I remember liking a couple of the colors and they never hit scrap pages. . Maybe some of the artist/designer Peas would know.

barf.

I cannot stand the color. Like linda , it is the color of my DS school so if I buy something that color, that will be why. Otherwise, I would not pick it at all.

I recently scrapped a page about my blueberry plant, and used Echo Park's Homegrown collection which had a sheet of purple paper in it. It was about the only purple paper I own, and it was in a collection about gardening so I lucked out...

I'd buy more purple if it existed. A few years ago, I temporarily sorted my stash by color and I had nothing to put in my purple bin. Not because I don't like it, but because it is few and far between in scrapbooking... not that being the color of the year means it will show up in the scrapbook world...


My local high school colors are yellow and purple so in two years when I have a high schooler I'm going to need more purple...

I rarely wear anything pastel so I prefer a darker purple over lavender and have a few purple sweaters/tops. So bring on the ultra violet! Also my first date with my first love was the movie 'Purple Rain' and I played that soundtrack to death.

Hey justjac! This is YOUR year!

I like this shade of purple. I think it has some scrappy possibilities!

Love it! Yay purple!

I like it. But I really like all colors and most shades. I may not like them in all applications. As long as I don't have to paint a room, house, or car this shade; I'm fine with it being in my clothes, scrapbooks, some seasonal furnishings. 

Love it! Will be happy to see more purple scrappy supplies!

It's too vibrant for me. I prefer a plum or eggplant shade for my papers, clothes, etc.

Not a fan of purple/violet, and I rarely put it on a scrapbook page.

I actually quite like that shade although I don't usually scrap with purple.

I like the colour well enough, although I suppose that I like most colours. While it is not really a colour that I wear, I hope that scrapbook companies do pick it up a little bit. Like others have said, it is totally lacking in my stash in any way other than cardstock and it would be nice to have some pattern papers on hand for when it would look good with my photos.

maybe they could replace at least HALF of the pink out there in the SB world with purple... even if they did, there would probably still be plenty of pink, lol.

Purple isn't a color that comes to mind for my scrapbook pages; partly because there aren't supplies out there, but partly because it just isn't one of my favorites. I tend to scrapbook with colors that are more 'natural' looking and there just isn't a lot of (that color) purple out in nature.

Maybe it's a self-fulfilling prophecy... there isn't any purple so no one scraps with it, so manufacturers don't make anything in purple, so no one scraps with purple...

I have a purple couch (circa 2002) that I could definitely scrap about with purple paper. My dd also loves the color and wears it often. It's one of our high school colors. My mom has purple hair. We have purple grapes growing in our back yard that I haven't managed to kill...
