Purple is divided into warm (lilac, orchid, eggplant and others with a red undertone), cold shades (purple, amethyst, wisteria and others with a blue undertone) and neutral (bright violet and lilac);
Purple in the interior must be diluted with one or two tones (contrasting or similar, or both);

Purple ceiling and floor cannot be combined;
