Looking for a nice purple paper for your next project? Well you’ve come to the right place,
because at LCI, we have a plethora of purples for you to choose from! Eight different shades,
four different finishes, and one tough decision – which one is right for me? That’s where
this handy video comes in. To help you decide, we’ve compiled a quick rundown of all eight
shades, organized by finish! See them in action, compare, contrast, then decide! Three of our
purple papers have a smooth, matte finish, meaning there is no texture or shine present
whatsoever. Two are from the Pop-Tone line, one is from the Gmund Colors line, and all
are lovely. Pop-Tone’s grapesicle is a pastel purple – think lilacs and easter eggs. Though
it is a soft shade, it has just the right amount of saturation to make it unmistakably
purple. As appropriately implied by its name, Pop-Tone’s grape jelly is a fun, classic
shade of purple reminiscent or grape jelly, candy, or other sweet treats – anything
but the actual fruit! Not to be confused with Grape Jelly, Gmund’s Grape is a dark, deeply
saturated shade of purple. Some say it’s eggplant, some say it’s regal – whatever
you call it, it’s rich, elegant, and classy. Onto the metallics! Two are from the Stardream
line, one is from the Curious line, and all have a shimmery, sparkly finish on both sides.
A soft, subdued shade of purple, Kunzite is best described as pale lilac. With a slight
iridescence, it takes on blatant purple hues in some lights, but white, silvery hues in
others – more apparent when placed next to darker purples. Don’t be fooled by it’s
name, Stardream Ruby is not a red, but instead an eggplant purple. With undertones of red
and brown and a slightly different hue with every turn of the sheet, this shade is truly
unique. Another rich, regal looking purple, Curious Violette is deeply saturated and is
complemented by a golden sheen. It’s truly something and makes for some wow-worthy designs!
Just as you might guess, So Silk’s Fashion Purple is made of real silk fibers, and has
a silky smooth iridescent finish. Depending on the light, fashion purple is one of two
vibrant, edgy shades of purple. It’s different, it’s modern, it’s very cool. Last, but
not least, we have Japanese Linen in the color Violet. It features a prominent, very distinguished
embossed texture, and the color is best described as a mauve. Here they are – all very purple,
yet all very different. If you would like to see these papers in person, we recommend
ordering samples prior to purchase. And if you have any questions, please get in touch
