In my small rose garden I grow exclusively roses with unusual colors. Until recently, the main attraction of the flower garden was the black rose. Now I have a burning desire to buy a lilac rose. Tell me which ones popular varieties Do you have flowers with this color?
Lilac roses are a large group of plants, which includes a wide variety of types of roses, ranging from hybrid teas to the same large group as scrubs. The flowers have one thing in common - they have a color that is not typical for roses. Unlike the usual red, white, yellow or pink, these roses are lilac in color. They are also called blue or purple depending on the predominant shade.
How did unusual roses appear?
The original color of the inflorescences was achieved as a result of selection, so all lilac roses are definitely hybrids. They say that this color is based on a special gene that colors pansies.
It is necessary to take into account that in the sun they lose their rich color. The most optimal place for planting will be an area that falls into partial shade after lunch.
Popular representatives of lilac roses
Among the flowers with such amazing colors, there are both new varieties bred after 2000 and more ancient ones, known since the end of the 18th century. So, most well-known representatives lilac roses are varieties.
The color purple is fraught with mystery and incredible charm. What do you imagine when you mention it? Boundless lavender fields Provence or the twilight sky colored by the rays of sunset, or maybe the delicate petals of lilacs and orchids.
The shades of purple are very diverse, and many people cannot determine their identity at first glance. The combination of cold and warm components adds violet tone depth, versatility and attractiveness. It was not for nothing that great monarchs and rulers, clergymen turned to him when choosing the color for their festive vestments.
Classification of shades
According to the Panton standardized color matching system, there are 196 shades of purple. And if you turn to the original source, you can see for yourself that, despite the absolute similarity at first glance, upon more detailed study it becomes clear that they are all completely different. It is impossible not to note the poetic names of the shades: lilac snow, lavender mist, ice orchid, cosmic sky, crocus, thistle inflorescence, etc.
For ease of understanding, we offer you a classification according to which all shades of purple are divided into 4 groups:
- rich and deep dark purple tones: violet-eggplant, plum, dark mulberry, etc.
- Translucent, light shades: lilac, violet, thistle, pearl purple, amethyst, etc.
- Shades with red undertones: fuchsia, purple, red-violet, lilac, fandango.
- Shades with blue undertones: electric violet, dark purple, black currant, indigo, etc.
The first group of shades is the most mystical and attractive; their choice is the best option emphasize the aristocracy of the image or interior. If they are greatly diluted, then we get a second palette. It is democratic and easily complemented with other colors. The most capricious shades of purple with a red undertone are considered. They require a classic addition, light and unobtrusive. We suggest taking a closer look at how purple combines with other colors.
Shades of purple + white
This combination can rightly be called classic. Purple color in the presence of white looks noble, catchy and refreshing. Depending on the tone of the first, the strength of the contrast and, accordingly, the effect of it changes. It doesn’t matter where such a combination will be used (in clothing or interior design), believe me, it will be a win-win. Complement it with brown, black and gray tones.
Shades of purple + black
Black, like white, is appropriate everywhere and always, it is universal, and therefore can be easily complemented with all possible shades. In this case, you need to be careful with purple. Use light shades, especially those that have a red undertone; black will only emphasize their nobility, and do not use overly saturated ones (plum, deep purple). Dilute the ensemble with white.
Purple + gray
This color combination is in no way inferior to the first in terms of versatility. Shades of purple against a background of gray look calm and comfortable to perceive. In the interior, such an ensemble is especially good when decorating kitchens and living rooms in high-tech style. When choosing a combination of gray and purple in clothes, keep in mind that it the best way Suitable for office dress code. The first color acts as an excellent base, and the shades of the second add variety.
Purple + yellow
Purple and yellow are a gorgeous and vibrant combination inspired by nature itself. It is for this reason that it is so harmonious for our perception. Give preference to bright or delicate yellow shades, pure, without admixtures of gray and other colors. They most successfully emphasize the depth of purple and its richness. In this case, there can be completely different proportions.
For interior decoration, a combination of purple and yellow is usually used to create a retro style.
If we talk about clothes, then completely different proportions are in use. For example, a purple dress and a yellow handbag. In the photo you see an almost equal presence of both colors, but at the same time one of them is inferior in saturation, and rightly so.
Purple + red
Using red and purple colors at the same time is not just an unusual, but rather an extravagant combination. At first glance, it may even seem aggressive and harsh. However, even such an unusual alliance can be successfully beaten. First, we recommend that you use a light purple (lavender, lavender, etc.) with an equally strong red. Secondly, dilute the combination with a neutral color - white or light beige.
Pay attention to the photo above. The interior in purple and red colors looks very unusual, but at the same time incredibly attractive and atmospheric. This is more of a decoration for something than an everyday option.
Purple + pink
This combination can look vulgar, flashy and tasteless, or elegant, light and gentle. It all depends on which shades of purple and pink you choose to match each other. They are quite close in tonality, and therefore are perceived as something natural. Avoid “poisonous” pink when choosing flowers. Give preference to pastel shades of this color, but purple can be rich and deep.
In the interior, this combination is most often used to decorate bedrooms. By choosing pink and purple clothes, you can create a great summer outfit or even an office look. This combination is also relevant when creating evening makeup. Purple will highlight green and brown eyes especially well.
Purple + beige and brown
Combination of purple and brown colors- this is a pleasant, unobtrusive, relaxing combination. When decorating the interior, it will be appropriate in any room (bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens). In addition, brown perfectly harmonizes the purple hue in combination with other colors, literally “grounding” bright design and making him more calm.
A similar duet is also appropriate in clothing. The image looks especially beautiful when the violet-gray color, or blueberry, is combined with shades of chocolate. Its combination with beige is no less attractive. Violet with such a “companion” becomes more balanced, gentle and light.
Purple + green
These two colors are contrasting and opposite. Being in interaction, they further enhance the beauty and brightness of each other. This combination is more than often found in nature. It will look good in any proportions: from rich and deep to delicate and pastel colors. Mint green and lilac, apple and purple are often used in interiors. A bedroom or living room decorated in this way looks stylish and original. But we do not recommend combining green and blue-violet; it is better to use pure shades, without undertones.
Purple + metal (gold, silver)
We have already mentioned that since ancient times the rich violet color scheme was used for the clothing of emperors and kings. In this regard, the addition of all its shades with something metallic will be very important. These can be large accessories (bags, belts, belts, etc.), jewelry, shoes. The shine of silver and gold will highlight the nobility of purple shades.
Combination of shades of purple with each other
Combination of shades within one color range- this is something that everyone can afford. At the same time, you should remember one simple rule: do not combine cold and warm shades in one set. Well, then everything is at your discretion.
A set entirely in one tone is boring, so combine two or three tones of different saturation. For example, if you choose a deep blue-violet color as a base (suit, dress), then highlight it with a lavender or lilac cardigan. A blueberry sweater would look great paired with a light purple skirt or trousers.
Still, there are colors that are most advantageous for you. And their skillful combination with the rest creates the concept of elegance and taste. Dressing monochrome, when all the details of your toilet are the same color, has long been a sign of bad taste.
There are few exceptions to this rule - if you are not a bride or in mourning, then your clothes should contain three shades - the main color, an additional color that harmonizes and shades the main one, and, possibly, a contrasting detail, an intriguing color accent. Selecting and combining them correctly is often a very difficult task.
A lucky few, endowed by nature with a subtle artistic taste and color perception, can choose color scheme wardrobe, relying on your intuition. For everyone else, in order to always be stylishly and tastefully dressed, you need to learn a few rules established by Sir Isaac Newton!
